This is followed by what I thought was a conjunction ""A convenient trick is to..."", implying a solution to the type disparity described above. Interpreted thus, the next section implies that setting a default parameter will cause an implicit type conversion to occur. In fact, the next section simply talks about a completely separate point, namely using a parameterised function for a non-parameterised url. Perhaps I'm just splitting hairs here, but I think the documentation would be improved if these two different notes were delineated in the documentation. Perhaps via bullet points."
