Well, that's not much of a "proposal" at this stage. ;)
Think about what your proposal should do with

    void func(int debug, int log);
    int main() {
        bool debug = false;
        func(debug=true, log=false);
    }

And think about what your proposal should do with

    void func(int debug, int log); // overloaded
    void func(bool log2, bool debug2); // overloaded
    int main() {
        func(debug=true, log=false);
    }

P.S.: I hadn't read Axel Naumann's P0671 "Self-Explanatory Function
Arguments" before, but it strikes me as a pretty good approach. What
problems do you see with P0671's approach, and how does your proposed
proposal fix them?
