Hi,
while variable declarations work in list:

> uint a,b,c;

function parameters declarations don't:

> void foo(uint a,b,c);

Because of this, function declarations are sometimes super-wide.
(despite of the fact that: http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/a/alanperlis177279.html)

In the previous example, we could imagine that once a type defined, it'd valid until a new one appears (until a "redefinition" / an "override").

Is there anything in the grammar that prevents this syntax ?

Thx.

void foo(int a, b);


Is `b` a second int argument, or is there a user defined type named `b` and the second argument is nameless of type `b`?

yes: nameless args. i would like to see 'em burned with napalm, but it seems to be too late to do that...
