Except that doesn't do what you'd expect it to do:
void foo(ref int time) { }
void main()
{
int times;
foo(times = 100); // set times to 100 and pass to the function.
}
When I said "pass those" I meant "pass those values". I was not assuming
ref arguments.
In any case, your syntax for named arguments is not possible. x = y is an
expression, and can be used anywhere an expression can be used.
