This is completely false. NP affects only those that "want" to use it,
no one else. Again, no one.
It is just like inline asm.
No, it is not. If all parameters are named parameters, then the library
writers have to be aware of the fact that some users might use named
arguments. Again, every library writer is affected.
Those names were mere implementation details prior to that point in time.
Having parameter names contribute to the interface means that all
developers need to spend time thinking about the best possible names
for their function parameters.
Then, what makes you so sure he won't do this?
What makes you so sure that if he does, he actually remembers to
change the functionality too?
You are not making any sense here i am sorry.
That was the point. I was continuing the reasoning in your previous post.
