Maybe a "best of both worlds" approach could be used, that allows both
long names and short aliases for methods, that accept veryveryverymany
arguments and thus aren't readable with A_POINTER,... anyways. 

I could think of using a field delimiter like ":" in the argument type
string: "p:f:f:s" or "A_POINTER:A_FLOAT:A_FLOAT:A_SYMBOL" then could
be allowed. And we would get rid of A_NULL in both cases. 

Ciao
