Apropos of nothing much, back when I was coding primarily in Objective-C (incidentally, for cross-platform Linux and Windows, but not anything Apple) the form of the function call would give another much more expressive option. I'd write something like this:

  [drawline  from: A
               to: B];
Obviously, some people hate it.

Objective-C syntax aside, keyword arguments are great for readability and maintainability.
