* If one positional param is optional, everything to the right must be
optional
method foo($a, $b?, $c?) # legal
method bar($a, $b?, $c) # illegal, ambiguous
Does "->bar(1,2)" mean $a = 1 and $b = 2 or $a = 1, $c = 3?
A required positional after a slurpy technically falls under this, but gets
its own specific error message elsewhere. This is good because "slurpy
args can only come last" is the information the user needs.
