Note that BYVAL is effectively a unary operator ...

Do we need that? Isn’t that identical to
a%=7
Print double((a%))
Print a%
Print double(a%)
Print a%

Function double(i%)
 i%=i%*2
 double=i%
End Function



Yes! But using an unary operater like "ByVal" would be more expressive!

Yes!!!!!!!


Maybe you should consider in advance whether using it as a "unary operator" when calling a sub/function could prevent a future use of "ByVal" in a sub/function prototype declaration?

If that were the case, perhaps use a different name for the "unary operator"? E.g. "AsVal"?
