We have a tool in our box already called `true` and that

well just adopt ObjC Cocoa style and call it

Named arguments are optional, so I don't see how they could

Actually, an external tool could detect when a bool is passed as
an argument to a function and warn when not done with a named
argument. This would

It's pointless mandatory verbosity. StopWatch ctor only takes
one boolean argument. It doesn't *need* to specify what it
relates to. You either already know, or you have to look it up
anyway. Flags made sense when you might get the order

In "properly" designed Phobos packages, it's unambiguous. Take
for example std.datetime.stopwatch:

Also this is completion friendly whereas Phobos version does not

Compare to phobos version:
```d
template Flag(string name)
