Having both approaches available would be better IMHO. Builder pattern is very nice but I frequently miss having named arguments too. Even if macros can partially fullfill that need, it's not the same and introduces more quirks and complexity...

Problem with named parameters is that they make renaming function params a breaking change.

Unless the IDE doesn’t support this refactoring? It’s ridiculously easy in C# and VS or VSC.

A (public) library doesn't have access to all codebases depending on it.

Even there changing the method param will invalidate semver specification.

Fair enough.
