The proposal mentioned that having two @named functions with same 
names and parameter types but different parameter names is 
allowed. However, this does imply @named functions have different 
mangling than a similar unnamed function. I think the DIP should 
mention whether this means that extern(!D) functions are 
forbidden altogether, or just don't consider parameter names in 
overload resolution.

The above brings this proposal closer to what Rikki did propose. 
IMO this proposal has better syntax, but Rikki's proposal has the 
advantage that named parameters can be combined with unnamed 
parameters. In any case, I think they should go to formal 
assesment together. Either one will be a step forward.
