This is not the problem. When you write an extension, you use the same API than ruby. If you change the API, you must completely change the source of ruby. I've the strange impression that you want named parameter only for user defined methods. If I have named parameter, I expect also to have named parameters for *all* methods of ruby Guy Decoux
