I can’t remember, do Ada or Modula2 have something like

I hope we have it this year or next year, as we have this DIP

I wonder if there is any way in which we could combine this with
strong typing of some sort (how?) to detect errors such as
int xcoord;
int ycoord;
myfunc( x : ycoord, y : xcoord, color : blue ) [3]
where the arguments are the wrong way around. Would have to
change the types of the xcoord and ycoord variables somehow,
something I have asked about earlier.
