Re: why doesn't min take more than 1 parameter?

Using a single list-like argument is more general: it allows
determining the minimum of any number of values. If it accepted only
two Float arguments, then to determine the minimum of 8 values you
would have to do for instance

:let result = min(min(min(arg1, arg2), min(arg3, arg4)), min(min(arg5,
arg6), min(arg7, arg8)))

while now you can do

:let result = min([arg1, arg2, arg3, arg4, arg5, arg6, arg7, arg8])

which is much more elegant.

Best regards,
Tony.
