it's a perfect thing. i always hate that "Flag" thingy, and with named 
arguments i finally got rid of it.

  void foo (bool skipSomething);

  foo(skipSomething:true);

no more additional imports and additional types for the simple things.

besides, i like `createWindow(x:10, y:10, width:20, height:40)` more than 
`createWindow(10, 10, 20, 40)`. sure, one can do all kind of acrobatics 
to emulate that, but why? ah, another thing that Walter never used so he 
doesn't see it as a good thing to have.
