I really think we all need to be more careful about these kinds 
of statements. I often see posts on the newsgroup where someone 
says "feature/function X is totally useless".... and it is 
something I actually use.

In this thread, there's I think three people who said the extra 
arguments are a good thing (myself, Andrei, and Peter). And 
there's what, maybe a dozen participants in the thread (I didn't 
count, I think it is less though)?

That's not a big enough sample to be statistically significant, 
but what are the odds that this thread is so skewed that only 1% 
of D's userbase feels this way, when 25% of the thread disagrees?
