The more I read these two RFCs (and the previous ones about similar
features), the more I think we really need to find a compromise about
named arguments. Many of the problems (remotely or closely related)
would be solved too.

About the syntax used in these RFCs, I really have to try out the
patch and see if it feels natural, but can't say it while reading the
RFCs... :)
