And just a warning that while mixing them is syntactically valid for one 
parameter, it does NOT always do what you expect and will catch you out 
with a bug at some point:
procedurename (argument)

It evaluates 'argument', which for objects, gets the default property, 
and other types, converts to a variant with an implicit byval.
