I think this is indeed the way to go, but ideally, named arguments would 
become first-class citizens. E.g., this should work: [1]

void foo(int x,string y){}

void main(){
     auto t=tuple(y: "123", x: 2);
     foo(t.expand); // ok
}

I.e., named arguments should be allowed in alias sequences.

This is important e.g. for forwarding applications.



[1] With the tuple DIP, it would become just

void main(){
     auto t=(y: "123", x: 2);
     foo(t);
}
