I think I agree with you and Don here. As for "skipping" default
parameters, I suggest the following syntax:
void foo(int i, bool b = true, real r = 3.14, string s = "")
{ ... }
foo(1, , , "Hello World!");
This is a much smaller language change than named parameters.

When reading existing code, can you easily spot the difference between:
foo(1,,, "Hello World!");
and
foo(1,,,, "Hello World!");
?
Unlike named arguments, I'd argue this syntax makes things quite a bit
/less/ readable.
