I agree that a proper functional interface would be better, too. But not a form like foo(501, 21, 10, 499, 5678). In C syntax, you may more easily pass a wrong value than open codes.

I have no good idea ATM, sorry.
Or can we provide simpler versions for covering some defaults? At least reducing the number of arguments would make things easier.
