Well some don't like to need to remember the order of arguments.
But that's a way totally different thing discussed here.
First you need to introduce argument names when invoking a function.
void foo(int timeout, string bar) {
..
}
Can be used as:
foo(timeout=5, bar="100")
(with some other syntax, of course)
Once you have that, you could do:
call!(foo)(timeout=5, bar="100")
Voilà!
It could also be accomplished via a fully implemented reflection library,
which is my side topic for this thread branch :P
For instance you could do this exact thing in C#, even though C# doesn't
support named parameters.
