Just because one developer might put comments explaining the parameters list before the actual parameters doesn't mean all programmers do. They might be explained immediately afterward. Who knows?

I think of the two choices I'd also like to have the functionality of SuperCls built in as well. I can be responsible for cutting and pasting. <g>
