it would be more self-documenting if written as:

auto x = foo(width: 1, height: 2, userId: 3);
What about something that's a little uglier, but could be done
with D magic?
For instance:
auto x = foo!(["width", "height", "userId"])(1, 2, 3)
So for instance, you could have some original function, like below
@namedParam("width", "height", "userId") auto x = _foo(int width,
int height, UserId userId) { }
and then some D magic inserts a new function that is like
auto foo(string[] names)(...) { }
and then processes names, mixing in the correct named/typed
variables and then returning a call to _foo with those variables.
