Well, like I said in my last email, that assumption is wrong. 
Parameter names have been exposed via CT reflection since at 
least 2011 when I wrote my first web interface generator library 
with it.

They're even fairly conveniently available with Phobos 
<http://dpldocs.info/ParameterIdentifierTuple> and you can use 
this to write named param library hacks today.

call!foo(name => "bar", other_name => 23); // possible now

and of course they are always in documentation which is even more 
important imo.

Indeed.
