Idea for named function arguments and symmetry with structs/enums

[Dante-Broggi]

Hmm.. now it has started being a bit confusing.. if arguments with default values are part of function name it means that func foo(a : Int) can co-exist with func foo(a : Int, b : Int = 12) and then we either cannot invoke the 1st or cannot use the default argument value for the 2nd... Unless some funky syntax like foo(a : 4, b : _) exists.

Oh, right that's one of the simple cases of hidden defaults:
In that case the one without defaults is called.

Of course this all is probably discussed approximately once a month year after year

Yes. I have personally interacted with 3 other threads on this:

[Pre-RFC] Named .arguments
[Pre-RFC] named arguments
Named arguments increase readability a lot

And some I haven't:

Possibly one small step towards named arguments
Yet Another named arguments prototype
