    From Deucе@1:103/705 to GitLab note in main/sbbs on Saturday, January 18, 2025 06:02:44

    It's not clear what the meaning of this array is compared to a value of 0 in func_list, but it's obvious they do different things.

    If a function exists in `func_list` with a value of 0, then it is expected to be callable with `null` or `undefined` as the first argument //without// throwing an exception.

    If a function exists in `noargs_required` then it is expected to be callable with **no** arguments without throwing an exception.

    I guess the comment is wrong then?
    `// Value (e.g. 0, 1) is number of non-null/undefined args required`

    How is that wrong? If the element value is 0, then a caller can call the function with a (single) null/undefined argument. If it's 1, they can't (it'll throw an exception).

    Calling with a null/undefined argument is different than calling with no arguments.

    It translates to "Zero is the number of non-null/undefined args required." Which does not translate to "One is the number of null/undefined args allowed." --- SBBSecho 3.23-Linux
