Re: both too many and too few arguments

Hi !

In my opinion, it does not matter too much that those two messages are contradictory and even meaningless. What really matters is the line number. Maybe, a better error message should be :

jsm6.pas:7:error: something is wrong here.

gpc jsm6.pas

jsm6.pas: In main program: jsm6.pas:7: error: too many (>1) arguments to routine `noargproc' jsm6.pas:5: error: routine declaration jsm6.pas:7: error: too few (1) arguments to function `noargproc'

I defined a procedure with no arguments.  When I called it with two arguments, I got error messages saying both "too many" and "too few" arguments.

What is the significance of the "1" in "too many (>1) arguments" and in "too few (1) arguments"?
