C can't overload. C can't do default parameters. That means all that named parameters could bring to C is checking (which we already have since C++98), and maybe reordering. (And while C probably doesn't mind allowing reordering, designated initializers suggest that C++ *might*.) While I agree this sounds nice, I question whether it there is any *genuine* value. > Do things that cannot be done with the type system.

"Not have incredibly obtuse syntax" can't be done by the type system *alone* :-).
