For example, it exists in Ada since 1983.  The following are all
equivalent, given that Foo takes integer arguments Arg1 and Arg2:
     Foo(Arg1 => 10, Arg2 => 20);
     Foo(Arg2 => 20, Arg1 => 10);
     Foo(10, Arg2 => 20);
     Foo(10, 20);
The syntax is IMHO much nicer than using /*...*/ comments in C.

Does it have optional arguments with default values? IMO keyword
arguments are much less useful without that feature/
