Wasn't then (02:52 GMT) - am now. It's true I've had a few issues with 
RunmodeDeclare in the past, but always because I've misused it. Your 
suggestion not to use signatures on run modes and to fetch query params 
traditionally, or alternatively only declare positional arguments, are 
both consistent with maintainability IMO, provided it's documented 
locally in the application, so I can remember how it works when I come 
back to it in future. That's really the issue here I think - 
understanding (and remembering) how RunmodeDeclare (and 
Method::Signatures) actually works.

So in answer to Ron's nuclear option, I'm not persuaded it's necessary 
to bin it at the moment. But in reality I use it only for the admin 
parts of my app, as it was too much work to re-factor all the rest of it 
away from AutoRunmode, which was and is working fine anyway.
