Default arguments best practices?

But “never do it if you can avoid it” I think is always implicit in this kind of advice.

Agreed 100%. Indeed the emphasized part IMO goes without saying. Hence my original statement didn’t include it.

Plus, @derek-zhou, more than one default argument is something that I don’t remember the last time that I needed it.

Even still, all cases where I used to reach for optional args I now instead use options lists. All of the benefits, none of the downsides.

…plus you can now use treasures like Keyword.validate! or NimbleOptions.
