Point 1: Examples are great in documentation, I love that.

Point 2: You can find a long discussion about it here: [Allow use of named-argument syntax for positional arguments?](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/allow-use-of-named-argument-syntax-for-positional-arguments/5287)

I am strongly against this, to quote myself:

> [@Allow use of named-argument syntax for positional arguments?](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/allow-use-of-named-argument-syntax-for-positional-arguments/5287/21):

> It seems really bad to me. It’s ugly, verbose, intrusive, will cause bugs, and puts an extra unnecessary burden on the developer. When I use positional arguments I _deliberately_ want to hide the names from the caller. When I want named arguments I use kwargs.
