I agree that it's not ideal, but I was trying to strike a similarity
with the current style of passing named parameters as a hash ref or
naked list.  e.g.

    mysub({ first => 1, second => 2 });
or
    mysub( first => 1, second => 2 );

See, no prefixes!  I'm not saying it's perfect but I would still suggest
that it's not as alien to Perl as one might initially think.

Thanks for the comments, anyway.  All are duly noted.
