I see people mentioning wrapper overloads to enable deprecation 
of old parameter names. But why not just support this in code?

Something like:

```D
void foo (@deprecated("x_val") int x, @deprecated("y_val") int y)
{
}
```

And then the compiler emits warnings if you use `foo(x_val : 10, 
y_val : 20)`.
