Pretty please: Named arguments

This is the real problem.

We already have named arguments in today's D. You can do some stringof
magic to get the parameter names and ParameterTypeTuple to assign them.

I haven't written it, but there should be no blocker in combining these:

void foo(int width, int height);

auto args = NamedParameterTypeTuple!(foo);

args.width = 10;
args.height = 20;

foo(args);


But, that's just like the struct for length of code...


If someone wanted to write the code to add the foo(width:10, height:10), I
wouldn't likely object to it's inclusion. But, I
don't see it as a big deal.
