@jplatte@social.tchncs.de Default argument values soon make wishes for call-site named parameters heard – as a means to provide only some out of a number of arguments, without needing to specify default values explicitly just because they appear earlier in the argument list than the one argument diverging from defaults.
Would that be in scope? I find the two to be a tight couple.

@calisti@chaos.social not in scope because I think the proposal would be too big with both at once, and parameter defaults are useful on their own. I have a design in mind, but it's hard to find the time to actually write it down. When I do write it, it will go into interactions with param defaults.
