Does it change your view at all that parameter names are *already 
public* per both spec and reality and have been for a long, long 
time? (my web.d framework used their availability as early as 
2012ish)

See item #6 here: 
https://dlang.org/spec/expression.html#IsExpression

"the parameter sequence of a function, delegate, or function 
pointer. This includes the parameter types, names, and default 
values."

And, of course, documentation though that isn't strictly part of 
the compiler breakage.
