Inhowfar would that differ from the existing map based argument support,
like @NamedVariant etc
(http://docs.groovy-lang.org/2.5.0/html/gapi/groovy/transform/NamedVariant.html)
<http://docs.groovy-lang.org/2.5.0/html/gapi/groovy/transform/NamedVariant.html>,
respectively what is your intention here ?

Hi there,
for both convenience and considerably improved source readability and
robustness, I am considering an ASTT which would convert positional
arguments to named ones, i.e., something like
@Named foo(bar,int bax=666,List baz) {
... whatever ...
}
turned to something like
foo(Map __map=null) {
def bar=__map?.bar
int bax=__map?.bax==null?666:__map?.bax
List baz=__map?.baz
... whatever ...
}
In farther future with my own typechecking script it might even allow
to typecheck named arguments, though that might prove a bit at the
difficult side — but technically possible.
Has anybody tried something like that before? If so, bumped into some
hidden pitfalls perhaps?
Thanks,
