And I think named arguments are a purely additive change. So Walter 
may add them later when the current features are implemented well 
enough. Currently it's much more important to focus on eventually 
needed non-additive changes instead.

Very true. I also use named arguments constantly in Python. 

Since I'm not the only one that would like to have it in D 2.1 I'll 
go into gredy mode and add that expanding a dictionary as named 
arguments to a function is pretty useful too, but since in D's hashes 
the values must be of the same type for a declared hash it would be 
less useful, except for Variant[string] hashes maybe, which is a 
little convoluted.
