For the record, I maintain my reaction from
https://externals.io/message/110004#110010 that the example you give
"cheats" by including a "fromArray" method which simply emulates named
parameters, but without any assistance from the language would require a
large amount of boiler-plate to do so.

Would you be more open to a version of the feature that was opt-in at the
definition site? Then your example could swap the hand-rolled documentation
and validation in "fromArray" for a fully typed signature in
"fromNamedParams", and the only compatibility promises would be ones
already made by "fromArray" anyway.
