I don't think the positional parameters are odd (C# has them with 
another syntax and Tango uses the same syntax as C#), I think they're 
very usable. Although the syntax you've chosen looks a little odd to me.

Wouldn't it make more sense to have the $ in front of the number instead 
of behind, since the % is in front.
