That would be far too clumbsy, unless you made it into two separate 
functions.

For instance (psuedocode):
auto userInput = getUserInput()
// userInput now contains "{Name} at {Address}", zip deliberately ignored
writefln(userInput, name, address, zip); // They're used in-order, but there 
shouldn't be an error
