Still, the C++ crowd regularly try to figure out how named parameters
could be added to C++. I think they will figure it out eventually.
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.
