C++ adds a number of extra complications here that C does not have,
but once they have a decent solution, C could probably adopt it.  Let
C++ pave the way on new concepts, and C can copy the bits that suit
once C++ has done the field testing - that's part of the C standard
committee philosophy, and a good way to handle these things.
 

I think that it's not mere "extra complications". Adding named
parameters to C++ is massively more complicated than adding them to C.
So, IMHO, if C waits for C++ then it will wait forever.
Not that I care. Named parameters are pretty low on my wish list.
