I read this sentence first in Japanese to find
light 'personification' of the C language.

Now I feel this word *seishitsu* is a bit carelesslly used here,
so I think you don't mind. You have only to find the natural way
to say it *in English.*

...Hmm, 'property'?

Should be rewritten as:

C言語の性質から、もし使う必要がなければ、第2・第3引数を受け取る必要はありません
