Look, C# has named arguments for over a decade now and you can't 
opt-out of it. Breakage because of the function arguments has 
changed rarely happens in practice, and if it does happen, it is 
trivial to fix.

I am going to be blunt on this, but some of the plausible 
scenarios being brought up is massively overblown to nonsense 
territory. One of the goals of Named Arguments is readability and 
so far no one has provided an alternative that is both useful and 
satisfactory to me.

Opt-in named arguments? Makes the named arguments dead on arrival.
