it is truly awful how many apis grow from positional caller-unnamed arguments, to struct/dict/bag. especially if any kind of optional arguments are involve and apparently language designers learn nothing from it.

the DX of the former is so train wreck transparently horrendous. just start with named unpositional arguments as the only way to invoke for crying out loud. what a country. 

(and i should think one can still have forms of currying even so, so don't claim that is some kind of absolute pure good that must force us to accept having all this other evil upon us.)
