No, I'm thinking of Inform particularly, where any 
arguments you don't supply always default to 0 or
nothing.  ("nothing" isn't really anything; it's
what you get when you interpret 0 as an object.
You can't *do* anything with it, but you can
test for it -- although in practice it's often
more useful to check whether the value you were
passed is > selfobj...)
