Phoenix.pm: Parameter parser

[David A. Sinck]

Scott (afaik) didn't send this reply to the list, but since he pointed
out I was a fast read/critic privately (and with reason :-), I thought
I'd be sure everyone got to see me fall upon my sword.

Ew...that's going to leave a mark.

\_ Oh, man. Everyone is a critic. Please note the "or atleast the parts of it
\_ that I actually use" above. 

Damn it, I knew I should have waited before opening my yap.  Sorry.

\_ There is a nitche for small, minimal, custom solutions. 

Yup.

\_ I've seen dashes, spaces, and of course underscores used in the real
\_ world. I don't live in the real world. I only visit.

Welcome to my quote file.

\_ I couldn't have said it better myself =) I should disclaim that *anything*
\_ I post to this list is *not* the recommended way of doing it, for any 
\_ newbies reading. Regular Perlers already know better.

Mwahaha.
