1. Phix:optional/named Parameter inside a class unexpected behavior?

Hallo
from my Point of view there is an unexpected behavior using named Parameter inside a class.
To make this clear i wrote some example-code:
--optional/named Parameter --Phix 1.0.4 64bit Win10 function adc(integer x,integer y) return x+y end function ?adc -- unexpected result no crash/why? --?adc() -- crash with missing parameters expected ?adc(2,2) -- works --?adc(x:=2) -- crash expected function add(integer x=1,integer y=1) return x+y end function ?add -- unexpected result no crash/why? ?add() -- works ?add(2,2) -- works ?add(x:=2) -- works class two function add(integer x=1,integer y=1) return x+y end function end class two addfunc=new() ?addfunc.add --unexpected result no crash/why? ?addfunc.add() --works ?addfunc.add(2,2) --works --?addfunc.add(x:=2) --crash with undefined identifier x unexpected wait_key()
Thank you

?adc -- unexpected result no crash/why?
routines became first-class in 0.8.2 (I think), so the absense of a following '(', which would obviously make it an invocation of that routine, makes it equivalent to [?]routine_id("adc").
Likewise, <int>(x,y) became equivalent (depending on context) to call_func/proc(<int>,{x,y}), and, before you ask, there'll never be named parameter support on that.
(well, I suppose I am already half-planning some rather radical rewrites for 2.0, so never say never...)
class two function add(integer x=1,integer y=1) return x+y end function end class --?addfunc.add(x:=2) --crash with undefined identifier x unexpected
Erm/ah, named parameters on class methods is probably just something I have simply never even tried. Might take me a while to figure out a fix for that.
It may well be too tied in to the aformentioned call_func/proc() mods, and simply prove impractical (at least, as above, pre-2.0, which is probably at least two or three years away).

Thank you for your effort. That makes the whole thing clear, and the results are no longer unexpected.
In the meantime, I have also found the reference in the documentation, at least for routine_id.
Semi-deprecated, since 0.8.2. http://phix.x10.mx/docs/html/routine_id.htm
If you can read, you have a clear advantage
Thanks for the continuous work on Phix, Phix is fun.
