You need to know what direction to go in; why does clockwise make so much more sense that we should just assume it? 38256 2 jackalmage 2010-08-30 19:55:07 +0000 (In reply to comment #1) > Rationale: Why would it be optional? You need to know what direction to go in; > why does clockwise make so much more sense that we should just assume it? Assuming one direction or another is helpful to authors in the first place; why force them to make an explicit choice when clockwise is a perfectly adequate default? More generally, whenever I see a trailing boolean argument, I assume that I can leave it out and it will just be filled by undefined, equivalent to false. Putting in a ",false" at the end of all my functions is opaque and annoying.
