The bigger point here is more profound: it is trivial to

D deserves to have named parameters to functions -- it makes 
for much more legible code, and obviates the need for slow 
builder patterns.  Readable and speedable. It's win-win.

Question for specialists of the topic : are parameter name 
available using compile time reflection ?

Because if they are, the problem boils down to perfect forwarding 
issue. And it seems solvable :

NamedCall!(
    function,
    "foo", fooVal,
    "bar", barVal); // Booya !
