I'd just like to point out that I wouldn't bet much on the parameter
skipping via default making it in. I don't want to extrapolate too
much, but from what I've gathered the feature has rather bad community
support. At least as far as I can tell, people are really interested
in having named parameters, but would rather not have parameter
skipping as implemented.

But that's getting off-topic :/
