Might be possible via xml hacking

There's no way to do that (even with xml hacking)

Wait, what are they talking about?

Sorry, I can't think right now

11

Ok. Thanks, all.

Like the "with inputs" of CALL, RUN and LAUNCH (oh and TELL and ASK) but the text being between inputs. (IIRC @bh wants this, too)

There are two different features under discussion here, and yes, I want both of them.

  1. The ability to control the number of input slots shown in the palette for a variadic input. Specifically, I want to be able to specify the minimum, default, and maximum number of slots, so for example 0/0/1 would make an input that's optional rather than truly variadic, 1/1/∞ if at least one value is required, etc.

  2. The ability to make input groups, including as a special case the ability to label an input with an associated title text.

Jens isn't exactly against either of these; he just doesn't think they're as important as I do.

Good with both. Thanks!
