I know that.  However, I can imagine that it will be hard to justify to the
unwashed masses why they need to use seemingly unrelated syntax to describe
the signature for humans and the signature for the compiler.

I believe that you raise a similar point in another of your posts, w.r.t the
'int=int, ord=ord' extra junk in your function definition.

That said, I suspect that the issue is peripheral and rare enough that I
needn't worry.
