When declaring functions for use with DLL's, it would be nice to be able to do this:

Global CreateEmitter:Int(intensity=50,parent=0)

Well you can, cannot you?

As long as CreateEmitter returns a value. SO just wrap a SetDefaultCreateEmitter:Flag(50,NULL)

No you can't.
He's asking to be be able to have default parameters on function pointers variables. Right now you need to simulate it manually by example like this:

Global CreateEmitter_:Int(intensity,parent)
Function CreateEmitter:Int(intensity=50,parent=0)
    Return CreateEmitter_(intensity, parent)
End Function
