Soooo I'm actually not entirely convinced on that change. 
Parameter names should *not* be part of a function pointer or 
delegate type - that's not supported and kinda randomly buggy to 
depend on (if the types match, the names might not: the compiler 
is free to reuse the structure for matching types which means the 
names you get might be the ones from a previous definition!)

Alias arguments are IMO different though, because they aren't a 
function pointer/delegate type, they are actually a function 
symbol, just one that happens to be defined inline. They should 
work.

But I think the restriction on delegates' parameter names is 
actually a good one, protecting you from bugs in more complex 
programs.
