named parameters

[Tim Jenness]

Reading through the docs for perl prototypes I see that there is a
reference to "named parameters" being a possibility in future versions of
perl.

Does anyone have a more concrete example of what was intended there? (I'm
assuming that since it was mentioned that there was a debate on the issue
some time ago).
