The combination of variadic parameters and named call notation is
somewhat strange, on second thought. Can you identify a use case?

If not, then it should probably be blocked in this version of the patch.
Even if it makes sense from a syntax standpoint, it might be confusing
to users.

Robert, did you have a specific concern in mind? Do you see a behavior
there that we might want to change in the future?

Jeff Davis
