Boost.Parameter ? I think I recall reading in D&E that named parameters
were proposed for standarization, and rejected.

If C# properties were possible to implement with a library (that doesn't
rely on UB), I think it should be accepted based on its quality. I would
keep using regular member objects/functions, just as I keep using
regular function parameters.

I could settle for A.X() = B.X() = 5, that's good enough for me.
