I oppose the empty name feature...

"Parameter name omission
If a function is defined with some of its parameter names 
omitted, arguments to those parameters can be labeled with an

I don't see how it could be reasonably implemented, nor what 
problem it solves.

Consider:
void fun(int, int);
fun(:1, :2); // ???
