But one way around that would be to support
parameter aliases, which would also confer a few more benefits.

Interesting idea. I think this might solve Jonathan Davis's main
complaint; could you give
an example of what syntax for that might look like?

I don't know, but possibly

void setColour(int colour alias color);

and with a possibility of deprecating old names

int find(string haystack deprecated alias s1, string needle deprecated
alias s2);

Don't know about others, but I think this is exactly the point where my
"meh" detector goes off.


std.algorithm has far worse signatures. The main problem I have with the
above is that it only solves a barely-existent "problem".

It's not the signature I was mehing about.
