If a user downloads eu version 405 ( WITH OUT OPENWATCOM )
and does a search of all the files in the download many
of them contain ,, ( DOUBLE COMA ) inside the parameters ?
What is the purpose of this ?

HERE IS AN EXAMPLE FROM pathopen.e
conf_path = canonical_path( file,,CORRECT )

Missing parameters. If the function specifies...
foo(object 1 = "one", object 2 = "two",object 3 = "three")
you can call foo with only the first and last by ...
foo("one",,"two")
useless

The only problem is there are 69 files like this, including some HTML files

You haven't explained what the problem is. As useless said, missing parameters get the default values. If there is no default value, then you get an error. This is not a problem.

Oh then it is ok to distribute code that has 69 files in the source and includes and docs that have double commas ????

Sure. Why not? It's a feature of the language now, just like lots of other stuff, like dollar signs.

An extra coma is indicative of an "emptyness" and in many languages, including euphoria is interpreted as a default value.
There is nothing wrong in this way of writing.

Do you know where this documented in euphoria ?

Thanks Matt !
I think that is bad idea and I think it will come back
to haunt you in big programs.
It looks like its going to cause you lots of head aches in parsing.
Good Luck !

There were some bumps while it was being developed, but I think it's fairly mature now. I don't see any reason why it would be removed in the future. It's very handy.

It's not only handy, it is nearly essential if you want to have default params. And without default params, large programs such as EuGTK would be nearly unworkable. So no, it isn't 'Asking for trouble' - quite the opposite, in fact.
