Problem:
Optional arguments still show up in the arguments scope, but as undefined values (they're null).
This is VERY confusing because structKeyList/Array() will return the key, and cfloop will loop over the key, but accessing it causes an error.
Lots and lots of code has workaround for this (like Transfer) that requires looping over the entire structure deleting the keys, even com.adobe.System has manipulateArguments() to work around this internally.
Method:
<!--- comp.cfc --->
<cfcomponent>
<cffunction name="foo" returnType="struct">
<cfargument name="arg1" required="true">
<cfargument name="arg2" required="false" default="arg2">
<cfargument name="arg3" required="false">
<cfargument name="arg4">
<cfreturn arguments>
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
<!--- bug76181.cfm --->
<cfset args = new comp().foo(10)>
<cfdump var="#args#">
