Discussion Thread: DIP 1030--Named Arguments--Final Review

[Walter Bright]

We already have named arguments in D since the very beginning - the struct 
initialization syntax.

Not a single person has complained about breakage when implementers changed the 
names of the struct fields.

This is similar to:

1. what happens if the implementer changes the types of the parameters?

2. what happens if the implementer changes the order of the parameters?

Then user code breaks.

If anything, this feature will motivate implementers to take some care to name 
the parameters appropriately.
