The syntax isn't an issue.

There was one DIP about named parameters, but it was unpopular. It didn't 
change *anything* about overload resolution; it only had the compiler 
check that you provided arguments in the correct order, even if they were 
all of the same type.

Even if there were a DIP everyone liked, nobody is signing up to 
implement it. DDMD is a little scary and not reflective of good design in 
D (having been translated by machine from C++).

I might take a look, but I probably won't have the time to produce 
anything useful.
