Then records could remain order-sensitive internally, and order mattering would be a non-issue. As a tangent, I have found the best use of keyword args to be made by Python, where they enable arbitrary parameters to have defaults (as opposed to c++ style, where default arguments can only be given from the final parameter backwards).
