If/when named parameters do come by, the nature of the documentation sources means that we really don’t have to care what the “current” (at the time of changing) variable names are in the docs: we just plonk in the variable names from The Source. Whether the translation has “<parameter>pagliaio</parameter>” or “<parameter>haystack</parameter>” is of little consequence. > > -- > Andrea Faulds > http://ajf.me/ > > > > >
