missing arguments for script functions

missing arguments for script functions

[Olaf Hering]

Is this supposed to work?

function f() {
  set x="$1"
  set y="$2"

  echo "${x} ${y}"
}

f "a" "b"
f "c" "d"

In my testing the positional arguments are not provided to f().
At least when the code above is loaded via 'configfile "${var}"'.

This gives syntax error to me. But

function f {
echo $1
}

works.

It does. Not sure what exactly was used in my first attempt which caused
the errors. At least now it is working as expected.
