Description

Today, there is increasing demand for named argument functions, especially as we continue to introduce longer and longer parameter lists in our SQL functions. In these functions, many arguments could have default values, making it a waste to specify them all even if it is redundant. This is an umbrella ticket to track smaller subtasks which would be completed for implementing this feature.
