[Boost-users] [Parameter] Positional arg after named arg

Hi,

With the parameter library is there any way to stop misuse as in;

func(/*a = */1,b = 2); Fine, a is positional, b is named.

func(a = 1,2); 

Happily compiles but probably isn't what was intended, the default value is
used for the second parameter. Should positional arguments be allowed to
occur after named arguments?

Perusing the Parameter library docs I can't see any mention as to what
should happen here.

Regards,

Richard.
