Description

Right now we only support regular method passing...

method(expr, expr, expr)

or 'named parameters'

method(symbol:expr, symbol:expr)

we should maybe support mixed...

method(expr, symbol:expr, symbol:expr, expr, expr)

then we could, say, have a method like this

foo(String a, Integer y, Map namedArgs, Object[] vargs)

{ ... }

and could call it via

foo("hey", 123, a:123, b:456, c:"whatnot", 4, 5, 6, 7)

where

a == "hey"
y == 123
namedArgs == ['a':123, 'b':456, 'c':'whatnot']
vargs == new Object[]

{ 4, 5, 6, 7 }
