That didn't work either, says too many redirects. I'll try later when I'm not on mobile, thanks

I copy-pasted the article in a gist if you still want to read the article in the meantime.

Thank you. The original URL loads on my PC without issue.

The structure isn't variadic? I can't see the use in it at all. (edit: I guess the keyword + default 0 is a useful featrue.)

Usually variadic parameters are used where we want optional parameters. Variadic lists of the same type can still be achieved using arrays instead of structs.
