The correct idiom involving Flag is:

unhelpful, and wasteful.
Can somebody please change the respective code in std.experimental.ndslice?
Can we just implement a basic form of named parameters that remove the
ugly workaround that Flag is.
void a(int x);
a(x: 3); // error, cannot be called with named parameters
void b(int x:);
b(3); // ok
b(x: 4); // ok
void c(int x:, int y:);
c(x: 3, y: 4); // ok
c(y: 4, x: 4); // error, named parameters out of order
The first error is to avoid making parameter names public API by
default. The second error is to not change how overloading works.
