    Unfotunately, parameters are only interpreted one way. Wouldn't it be=
=20
nice if you could do something like this:=20
call_back({routine_id("MouseCallback"), {C_INT, C_DOUBLE, C_DOUBLE},=20
C_DOUBLE})  --{mouse button, x-position, y-position} return: I don't know,=
=20
but something that needed to be a double. We wouldn't need to use any weird=
=20
workarounds for signed numbers, or strange stuff for doubles/floats.=20
Obviously, this would be quite complicated to implement. As it stands, the=
=20
interpreter just needs to copy a set of routines depending on how many=20
parameters there are for the callback. It would probably need some nice=20
assembler or C trickery to get this advanced method to work. With this=20
somewhat more complex method, though, we could create call-back procedures,=
=20
too (something that's moderately annoying.)
