Re:N-Params vs. Single Param

Neither really addresses the issue. Making a type for a single kind of string seems like an abuse of types just to shoehorn the documentation in. Documentation can be used directly of course, but that moots all of this -- just document? Yeah, but naming the variable is super quick compared to either.

Variable names is just documentation. Having types that can assert some condition on the underlying value is not even comparable to "having a named return variable". (just document? just name variables?) You don't care about what the name of the returned value is, you care about what *it is*.
