[Nitro] param handling

thought a little more about what you said here.

That general "too few arguments" error would only appear with
`def action(par1, par2)` and not with `def action(par1 = nil, par2 = nil)`.

IMHO the first says:  This function does not handle the case where both
parameters are missing.
The second says:  just push me whatever, I'll handle it.

For custom error handling, the second would be used, the first will
just throw an error.

Am I just thinking too much here?
