You can use the ARG_INFO stuff to name parameters (like done in SPL or the
Exception base class) so the name "just" needs to be added where wanted.
A benefit from named parameters compared to array based stuff would be that an
IDE might give better completion support.
This doesn't mean I have real need for named parameters and as Andi said we
shouldn't add every feature one might add.
