Named arguments are optional, so I don't see how they could make Flag redundant.
Actually, an external tool could detect when a bool is passed as an argument to a function and warn when not done with a named argument. This would free library APIs from having to use Flag when some users don't care about it. The cost would come in a bit more build system complexity/build time, which might mean a lot less enforcement due to inertia. Though maybe a reasonable trade-off.
