i'm curious as to how some of you pass parameters to ML routines in your
ML code. for instance, let's say you had a routine that took two numbers
and returned the answer. how would you pass the two routines. i've basically
passed values two ways: 1) put them in some dummy variable, 2) if the
subroutine required many parameters, then i'd just pass the address of
where to find the data.

i'm just looking for efficiency and readability. #1 above is definitely
not readable. but #2 is. does anyone pass parameters via the stack?
