+==== Method Parameter List ====
+
+A parameter list is a comma separated list of name (and optionally type and parameter description modifier) specifications
+
+{{{
+<paramName> [as [<paramDesc>] <Type>]  [, ...]
+}}}
+<paramDesc> is optional and may be '''vari''' and/or a parameter direction indicator '''out''' or '''inout''' ( default if unspecified is '''in''')[[BR]]
+
+'''vari''' indicates the parameter name is a placeholder for a variable length arglist. Within the method this may be unpacked/accessed as a list.[[BR]]
+
+'''in''' (implicit) Args are only passed into the method. Any changes made to the argument inside the method are not visible outside the method (pass-by-value)[[BR]]
+
+'''out''' the arg is returned from the method [[BR]]
+
+'''inout''' argument is both passed into the method and (any possibly changed) value is also returned from the method (pass-by-reference)[[BR]]
+
+
+If <Type> is unspecified it is treated as dynamic?[[BR]]
+
+
+e.g.
+{{{
+    def meth( a, b is String, c is out String)
+        c = b + "_meth"
+
+    def sum(a as vari int) as int
+        sum = 0
+        for i in a
+            sum += i
+        return sum
+}}}
+  
+meth takes 3 args , the first and second are inward only and are dynamic and a string respectively, the third is only returned from the method as a string
+sum takes a variable number of integer args
