Which pretty much doesn't exist in the existing languages that 
have named arguments, be it C#.

At most you just add a note in release notes about the functions 
being renamed.

I could see it an issue in dynamic languages like Python, because 
such a change could pass silently and then crash your program in 
runtime. But in D it just wouldn't compile, so it's an easy fix.
