this is almost a workaround for the lack of named parameters

Intriguing, Jacob!  I could learn alot about reflection by 
studying your code.

How is it installed?  I installing by downloading that single 
file, and with a quick hack to the Reflection.d top three lines 
(commenting out the module and imports at the top), I tried 
calling it with this, no luck:

#!/usr/bin/rdmd

import Reflection; // with module and imports commented out...
import std.stdio;

string my(int a, int b) {
   writeln(a/b);
   return "howdy";
}

void main(string[] arg) {

    auto s = callWithNamedArguments(my, `a=3, b=4`);
}

// yields:

$ ./ref.d
./ref.d(13): Error: function ref.my (int a, int b) is not 
callable using argument types ()
./ref.d(13): Error: expected 2 function arguments, not 0
