Count me among those who had no idea this feature even existed. The thing about the current behavior that strikes me as odd is that it only applies to parameters with default values. So foo(a: Int = 1, b: Int = 2) is reorderable, whereas foo(a: Int, b: Int) is not. This seems fairly inconsistent and quite weird, given that both forms contain the same amount of information that would be pertinent to determining order. So the behavior should probably change one way or the other; either remove it entirely, or extend it to labeled parameters without defaults.
