How about changing the behavior of autogenerated bindings for

That seems like a decent compromise.
Otherwise, a custom XS wrapper for back compat specifically for Perl seems
reasonable. That was my first thought too.
I think different semantics for positional and labeled arguments are even more
confusing. Anyway, I don't have a strong opinion on the whole issue. But now
would be a good time to make any changes.
If we stick with "undef means default", we should also consider to disallow
undef for Boolean and number arguments if there's no default.
