I think the current case where order of parameters doesn't matter is much
better, perhaps add a sentence or two to the standard to make it more clear.
But enforcing some order will be both backwards incompatible and IMHO will
annoy users more than fix something that doesn't need to be even fixed.
People will have to remember what the right order is, I'm pretty sure
they'll get it wrong in ~ 50% of cases.
