athingof[ ;SIZEOF= [height [,width [,depth [, color ] ] ] ] ]
Box 1 contains ;SIZEOF= and [height... and EVERYTHING in Box 2
Box 2 contains height and [,width... and EVERYTHING in Box 3
Box 3 ...
The way to write the command with just height = 75 and color = red is:
makeit barn;SIZEOF=75, , , red
The parameters we left out were optional. But the commas that preceded
them were not. Parameters in a "family" like SIZEOF= that are
separated by commas are often called "positional parameters": depth
and width and color are "positional". If you leave them out, LEAVE IN
their commas to "hold their position" in the ;SIZEOF family.
