Perhaps not. Braces are surely as good a way to denote keyword args as any
other flag. It occurred to me that there is no equivalent of object literals
in the languages I know that have keyword arguments. There are strong
parallels, which is probably why the discussion of the guarded literal syntax
brought it to my mind. But that makes me wonder how I would write a function
with "keyword arguments" that were both guarded and had default values?
function f (a:V, b:W=w {c:X=x, d:Y=y}) ...
or, the less parallel:
function f (a:V, b:W=w {(c:X):x, (d:Y):y}) ...
