It's a good idea, but I don't think it'll improve clarity. I think the current format is easier to write and read than having named params.
I guess its partially a matter of opinion,
Let me say that I understand that there could be some value in using a named-arg array. I understand that it would make adding new params less invasive, although I think that that's a less-than-frequent problem that can be handled other ways (another event, or adding params at the end).
We disagree which calling method would be better. Can we agree that named args are not _sufficiently_better_ that we should change this part of the software just before a release? Or to keep event hooks out of the release altogether? Because that's where this conversation is going, and I really don't like that direction.
