Thanks for the reply.

I totally understand how those two features could be useful.

For the parameter name feature, I can't imagine a strong reason for not implementing it (I mean, apart of "we have other stuff to prioritize").

For the tag I could see an attribute system like in C++ [0]

On a tangential topic, I believe that's exactly the Pandora box of meta-programming.

I think at one point they rejected the idea, but I think it was from 2018 or so. The cpp attributes does seem like what I'd want, but yeah c++ compile time code isn't good enough for what I need.
