If the probability is low, as Jonathan emphasizes, then please 
change the behavior of the D compiler. Or if not, in this case, 
here is the intermediate solution:

**Add a warning or error message**

"Named arguments are evaluated in parameter order, so be mindful 
of side effects!"

If this behavior is intentional, it at least needs to be clearly 
communicated. In summary, we cannot get away with changing the 
specification. Because this is an unintuitive situation.
