parameters were to be added to the language without significant extra
syntax, then this particular issue could be solved in at least two very

Anyone who really wants named parameters at function calling can already do
this in C99:

struct st
{
        int a;
        int b;
        int c;
};


void func(struct st s)
{
}


int main()
{
        func((struct st){ .a = 1, .b = 2, .c = 3 });
        return 0;
}
