An advantage of this method is that it avoids the need for the forwarding functions.

But the disadvantage of these schemes is that you lose the positional interface to f. Now you're forced to use named parameters.

Personally, I'd prefer not requiring the forwarding functions. The positional interface doesn't seem that useful. If it was then you wouldn't need the named parameters. But I realise that this is a fairly subjective opinion. Of course, you could create a positional interface by using a forwarding function. But that defeats the point. Daniel
