People have mentioned packages, non-textual-substitution generics, and
such.
But one thing that could come in handy is the named parameters, and it
is something I like; one of those "little things."
"Circle( Radius => 23, X => 28, Y => 14 );" will always be more
readable than "Circle( 23, 28, 14 );" plus, there's the added benefit
that 1) changes in parameter-ordering will not impact calls of this
sort, & 2) the users of the functions/procedures can place the more
pertinent parameters [to their task] more prominently [e.g. first].
