A nice thing about the mode switch syntax could be that it makes [the convert prototype to call] routine faster (assuming there are no type hints!!!):

The trailing equals is faster (as long as you have defaults as in your example), because you don't have to type the "*," part. I don't think it's worth the loss of call flexibility (although a lot of that is because I use keyboard macros a lot, and this is eminently macro-able, or even a simple editor extension). Steve
