Typeless procedure parameter?

Is it possible to make a typeless parameter to create a procedure similar to debug?
For example:

Wheres the Problem with converting?
Code: Select all
mydebug("Hello!")
mydebug(Str(32))

There's no problem doing that within the procedure. But my question is if it's possible to create a typeless parameter. Type checking would need to be done inside the procedure but I don't think PB supports that.

PB doesn't support function overloading etc.

Use a macro instead then.

Doesn't help, you're only pushing the problem down. What do you do in the macro? PB has no TypeOf().

Nope. It would require a stricter typing system than the one PB has.
