We have two competing proposals for named arguments. Walter's 
alternative has been consistently ignored, though I notice Walter 
mentioned it more than once. That would be totally fine if the proposals 
were better, but it doesn't take much to figure Walter's is obviously 
way better, simpler, and integrates beautifully within the existing 
language.

This entire dynamics strikes me as massively counterproductive. Why are 
we doing this?
