See? It's pretty wierd how it works now, isn't it? And the worst part is that means you can't set sprite most attributs to -1. And for some attributs, eg sp_mx and sp_my, -1 would be a perfectly reasonable value. The tricky thing would be keeping backwards compatable if you changed it (I think).
If I were going to do it (which I'm not) I'd probably do either of these:
1. Allow omiting the -1 but still treat is as a special value if the result of the sp command is being asigned to something [&x = sp_y(1, -1);] but if it's just used as a straight statment [sp_y(1, -1);] then really set it to -1.
2. Keep the sp commands for compatibility by add a new set of functions that work in a cleaner way.
