What I'd like to see is something like this possible:

void foo (int timeout, string bar, float f = 4.0);

void foo(int timeout);

call!(foo)("timeout=5,bar=\"hello\"");

Taking into account the default value of f, what the parameters are named, and which overload to call. I could certainly do it with C#.
This is interesting. It means we'd need reflection for parameter names, which currently does not exist.

Why do it with strings? Why not

call!(foo)(5, "hello")

with varaidic args?
 Ok, say foo is:
 void foo(string bar, int timeout)

What's the difference?

The difference is, I'm saying I want to call foo with parameters identified by parameter name, not parameter order.
