I've heard it was a big boost for C# when it got support for
default arguments and named parameters. It made it a lot easier
to integrate with COM.
AFAIK, this is only relevant or useful for COM (i.e. to support
legacy, not really OO code) and is not supported (compile error?)
for regular C# code as it is *not idiomatic C#* style (and is not
OO).
