Discuss!
I do have to admit that as much as I hate the idea of named parameters, this
particular proposal certainly seems to be an argument in favor of adding them,
which would tend to argue against making these changes.
After thinking about it, I'd argue that it would be better to create a string
mixin which created the enums for you instead of using the template as part of
the arguments. e.g.
mixin(YesNoEnum!"KeepTerminator"));
Then all of the rest of the code is the same. You'd still use
KeepTerminator.yes and KeepTerminator.no, but we avoided having to create
duplicate enums by hand every time that we want this kind of variable. So, you
still reduce the boilerplate code, but the usage is much less ugly.

The problem is the 'YesNoEnum!"KeepTerminator"' will not be shown along
with the DDoc of 'getLine'.
