Note Submitter: ---- very clever unless you need to specify at least two parameters of the same type - which is which? Obviously, you may decide on some defaults, but then the whole thing gets ugly. What if you need a string ONLY if a boolean was also supplied? The type-checking becomes the main focus of your function, shit. For the sake of clean code you should specify a clean interface to your functions, and decide on what and where is passed as an argument. Yes, you can always code a do_absolutely_everything() function, but is there any sense?
