Comment(by strk):

 That's the result of my lazy way to deal with upgrades.
 Adding an optional parameter doesn't replace the old signature, so in
 order to do a clean upgrade you'd have to _drop_ the previous, which is
 not something you do in an install file.

 When I'm willing to provide a single .sql to do both install and upgrade
 (because I'm lazy) that's what I do: never drop any signature, and if I
 need more parameters keep the old one as wrappers that call the new one
 passing the defaults. This has been working since PostGIS-1.0 against
 PostgreSQL 6.X ...

 Keep it simple!
