Right, agreed.  This is one of the "not helpful" cases, where you simply 
don't use named arguments.  I'd expect (and hope for) most function 
calls to fall into that category.

I'm only just becoming aware of the scope of the toolchain issues, so 
I'm not really qualified to comment on that.  This doesn't have to go to 
the front of the queue, but it'd be nice to see it scheduled for D2.
