Since D has optional arguments -- why don't we support named parameters? There are extremely handy and work beautifully in languages like C#.
We've argued about this several times in the past. We're not adding them. They interact badly with overloading (especially if you try and add more overloads later), and they make it so that the parameter names are part of the API, which means even more bikeshedding and arguments about naming.
