What "your function" are you talking about?
This is about the standard Emacs function
`interactive-p'.

What optional argument would you have it take,
and why?  And how would that solve the problem
of existing calls to `(interactive-p)'?

But yes, it does sound like we've perhaps
miscommunicated.

`interactive-p' has existed since nearly Day
One.  `called-interactively-p' was introduced
to replace/"fix" it - presumably instead of
fixing it directly by adding an optional arg
and leaving the default behavior (no arg) as is.

And `interactive-p' was declared obsolete.
I have no problem with that declaration, even
if I'd have preferred to see `interactive-p'
fixed directly (previous paragraph).

My only request is to not remove `interactive-p'.
My request is to please leave it "obsolete".
