Is there a more concise way to specify that the type of an argument is a named tuple? Right now I have a function that takes a named tuple of 2 structs and it makes the declaration very long. For example, if I have declared a struct `MyStruct` and I want to declare a function taking a named tuple of `MyStruct` it ends up like this:

```julia
function my_function(NamedTuple(:A, :B), Tuple{MyStruct, MyStruct}...)

```

Which seems quite verbose for something that could be just `NamedTuple(:A,:B, MyStruct)`.

Is there any way I could shorten it?

NamedTupleTools.jl will help you I think.
