PROPOSAL: Named and Optional parameters, "Java-style"

If the langage allow to call any existing methods using named-parameters,
the parameter's names will become a very important part of the API, like
class or method's names. So any change in the parameter's names will be a
potentially breaking change !

It would be better to limit that to some methods (tagged via annotation or
keyword).
