It was pointed out to me last week that COUNT and four other intrinsics with an 
optional DIM argument cannot be rewritten as a pair of overloaded procedures 
because calls to them might be ambiguous. I therefore wish to change my vote on 
F08/0038 to YES.

Considering F08/0038 has made me aware of the merit of rewriting intrinsics with 
an optional DIM argument as a pair of overloaded procedures. I am therefore no 
longer opposed to the acceptance of F08/003, though I would like to suggest 
adding this to the ANSWER.
"This is done as far as possible by rewriting each procedure as a pair of 
overloaded procedures, but this cannot be done for COUNT, LBOUND, LCOBOUND, 
UBOUND, or UCOBOND because calls to them might become ambiguous."

May I remind you that the deadline is 0900 UK time on Wednesday, 19 October 2011?

Cheers,

John.
