Just wanted to draw more attention/feedback to a proof-of-concept
patch I just made:
https://github.com/zeek/zeek/pull/262
Basically lets us do this:
global my_event: event(a: count, b: string);
event my_event(b: string)
{ print "my_event", b; }
Which is good because:
* user doesn't care about parameter 'a', so they shouldn't have to list it
* it makes it easier for to deprecate/change event parameters
I didn't see any drawbacks to this change, but maybe I missed
something, let me know.
