The question is what problem does it solve.
For one thing, it avoids the ugly hack which is the Flag
template and Yes/No structs.
With Flag:
string getLine(Flag!"keepTerminator" keepTerminator);
getLine(Flag!"keepTerminator".yes);
With named parameters:
string getLine(bool keepTerminator);
getLine(keepTerminator: true);
When showing code don't purposefully make it verbose to
strengthen your case. Here is how Flag is usually used:
getLine(Yes.keepTerminator);
Which is way more readable. Named parameters are not needed!
