James Shubin 9b4f50cde9 lang: Add the NamedArgs interface
This lets you specify which args are being used in the general function
API, which can make code readability and debugability slightly better.

In an ideal world, we wouldn't need this at all, but I can't figure out
how to avoid it at the moment, so we'll include it for now, as it's
always easy to delete if we find a more elegant solution.

// takes as input a list of partial "hints" as to limit the number of
// possible results it returns. These partial hints take the form of a
// function type signature (with as many types in it specified and the
// rest set to nil) and any known static values for the input args. If
// the partial type is not nil, then the Ord parameter must be of the
// correct arg length. If any types are specified, then the array must
// be of that length as well, with the known ones filled in. Some
// static polymorphic functions require a minimal amount of hinting or
// they will be unable to return any possible result that is not
// infinite in length. If you expect to need to return an infinite (or
// very large) amount of results, then you should return an error
// instead. The arg names in your returned func type signatures should
// be in the standardized "a..b..c" format. Use util.NumToAlpha if you
