Why is INPUT such a Rube Goldberg?

[Han]

The simple form is: INPUT(var)

The intermediate form is: INPUT(var, title, label, help, reset, initial)

The advanced form is the same as the intermediate, except var, label, reset, and initial are actually lists of that respective type:

Code:

INPUT(
  { var1, var2, …, varn },
  title,
  { label1, label2, …, labeln },
  { help1, help2, …, helpn },
  { reset1, reset2, …, resetn },
  { initial1, initial2, …, initialn }
)

The only other change is that var1 through varn have the form:

{ varname, type_specifier, position }
