Every time I forget to add the `label: ` and get a compile error (which is *often*), I agree with you. From a developer consistency perspective, though, Iām not as sold on this. With this convenience, people may forget to switch back to the keyword list when they need to add other options like :limit, and try `IO.inspect(something, "Message", limit: 300)`.
