Perhaps I misunderstand the problem, but isn't this about unused parameters 
(which must nevertheless be included as placeholders) causing warnings? 

If that is the case, then Euphoria should provide a dummy type to be used 
as a placeholder, one which wouldn't generate the warning. Should be 
easy to implement.
