You have to supply all arguments. I've written this in the 
detailed proposal:

I understand. I think proposing a new keyword, or a @keyword, in 
infeasible, because all this stuff not important enough :-(

I am not concerned by ways to force the usage of those private 
arguments (like taking the address and using it to call the 
function). It's like the yellow-black plastic strips you see 
around. They are there to tell you to not go forward, for a real 
danger or a legal danger, but they don't actually stop you.

Thank you,
