I'm sure everyone realised, but just for the sake of completeness: the
first identifier above should be 'c'.

Either syntax is fine for me. Might also want:
'name' => 'var' -or- 'var' :named('name')
for cases where 'var' has the same name as a PIR keyword.

Any chance of making the above change first? Or at least making argument
count mismatch detection work with '.param'? (We're always being told
that compilers should emit PIR not PASM, and - although it's not a big
deal - I'll need a second pass through my argument lists to generate the
'get_params' version).
