For what it’s worth, the constants do give at least two benefits: 1. Flexibility for adding functionality without signature change. 2. Readability at the call site even if the output isn’t different in most cases. example(true, true, false); example(USE_BLUE, DROP_FIRST... With names arguments in 8 we do get helped, I think. mb_case_switch had 3 flags in the beginning, now gas 6 - if I’m remembering and interpreting the docs correctly. Cheers, Josh
