I'd really like something from Blitz, if possible: you can make functions with optional parameters, and you provide default values if they aren't passed. For example...
Function Whatever (x, y, z, a = 999, b = 0, c = 32)
...
End Function
Then I can either supply new values for a, b, c:
Whatever (0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1)
Or skip them completely to use the defaults:
Whatever (0, 0, 0)
This is so nice to use, and I found that C does it too (I was playing with HiSoft C on WinUAE last night
