Hi Botond, I would like to see progress on P0329R0 Designated Initialization, which is a proposal from discussion between two friends and I, for a real case in our codebase (my refactor work in bug 1251995 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1251995>). But I didn't follow the paper work closely.
I expect that the change would further encourage people to use structs for passing arguments to functions with tons of parameters, which could lead to better readability (increased callsite verbosity) and code simplicity (reduced declaration verbosity).
