LOL!

Lucky you!

It was something one had to use for IBM Job Control on punched cards, or even paper tape.  It used named parameters in its syntax
and to a spotty youth it seemed unscrutable and most unhelpful - a comma wrong and you lost your run for the day.  But actually it
was rather a lot simpler than C++ Macros and templates.

Now I'm really showing my age :-((

PS Both of these methods of providing parameters work. I don't want to make a big issue about which is best.  My preference is
probably mostly based on ignorance and NIH.
