It doesn't make sense to use named parameters with

theoretically, but I'd strongly object.
Just out of curiosity: why would you object? In Lua, we have the syntax
function whatever(one, two, three)
do something with(one, two, three)
end
I'm not lobbying for define to have something similar, I just want to
point out that it would be in the spirit of convergence between ConTeXt
and Lua. It certainly isn't an urgent need, but having
\define[one,two,three]
wouldn't be absurd, now would it?
