I used to want this feature too, but i then got hit by a bug when 
i reordered the fields in the struct.. i don't want to deal with 
that stuff anymore

But we now have named arguments, so this feature could be make 
use of it, it's similar with enums, perhaps one day this could be 
revived:

There is even a working implementation:
