Named arguments to functions?

[Iavor Diatchki]

Hello,

I would say that this is a too complex of a change to discuss for Haskell
Prime without implementation or prior experience.    If you are interested
in something like this, you may want to start a discussion of the design on
one of the other lists, or perhaps write up a proposal for GHC.

The proposals currently under discussion are on the `github` URL.

Cheers,
-Iavor
