Actually I personally do have a use case for the argument names being available, but I wouldn't be too surprised if I was one of the few ones that actually needed it. In my case I have some code that builds definitions of Ruby methods and such, including the argument types and names. An example of the result of this can be seen here: http://git.io/YGex6A Having said that, we seem to mostly agree so I'll try to not deviate from the subject any further :) Yorick
