My sense is that most methods are zero, one, or two arguments, so, for ease of 
writing the methods as well as efficiency, it's worth supporting these as 
special cases in the implementation. But regarding this issue, as long as you 
correctly implement the semantics, you should use your own judgment about how 
to implement it. Good luck, and please keep us posted. Thanks!
