Subject: #has_arguments?

Messing with optional argument check for the umpteenth time, eg.

  def meth(a=Exception)
    if a != Exception
       ...
    else
      ...
    end
  end

Other's might do:

  def meth(*a)
    if !a.empty?
      a = a.first
       ...
    else
      ...
    end
  end

Neither of which are very satisfying. So it occurs to me tonight that
we already have #has_block? to see if a block was passed. So how about
a #has_arguments? to query if _any_ arguments have been passed. So
then...

  def meth(a=default)
    if has_arguments?
       ...
    else
      ...
    end
  end

Ah... now that would be nice.
