// Function: get_named_args(positional, named, _undef)
// Function: get_named_args()
// Usage:
// function f(pos1=_undef, pos2=_undef,...,named1=_undef, named2=_undef, ...) = let(args = get_named_args([pos1, pos2, ...], [[named1, default1], [named2, default2], ...]), named1=args[0], named2=args[1], ...)
// Description:
// Given the values of some positional and named arguments,
// returns a list of the values assigned to named arguments,
// in the following way:
// - All named arguments which were explicitly assigned in the
// function call take the value provided.
// - All named arguments which were not provided by the user are
// affected from positional arguments; the priority order in which
// these are assigned is given by the `priority` argument, while the
// positional assignation is done in the order of the named arguments.
// - Any remaining named arguments take the provided default values.
// If only k positional arguments are used, then the k named values
// with lowest 'priority' value (among the unassigned ones) will get them.
// The arguments will be assigned in the order of the named values.
// By default these two orders coincide.
// returns a list of the values assigned to named parameters.
// in the following steps:
// - First, all named parameters which were explicitly assigned in the
// function call take their provided value.
// - Then, any positional arguments are assigned to remaining unassigned
// parameters; this is governed both by the `priority` entries
// (if there are `N` positional arguments, then the `N` parameters with
// lowest `priority` value will be assigned) and by the order of the
// positional arguments (matching that of the assigned named parameters).
// If no priority is given, then these two ordering coincide:
// parameters are assigned in order, starting from the first one.
// - Finally, any remaining named parameters can take default values.
// If no default values are given, then `undef` is used.
// .
// This allows an author to declare a function prototype with named or
// optional parameters, so that the user may then call this function
// using either positional or named parameters. In practice the author
// will declare the function as using *both* positional and named
// parameters, and let `get_named_args()` do the parsing from the whole
// set of arguments.
// See the example below.
// .
// This supports the user explicitly passing `undef` as a function argument.
// To distinguish between an intentional `undef` and
// the absence of an argument, we use a custom `_undef` value
// as a guard marking the absence of any arguments
// (in practice, `_undef` is a random-generated string,
// which will never coincide with any useful user value).
// This forces the author to declare all the function parameters
// as having `_undef` as their default value.
// Arguments:
// positional = the list of values of positional arguments.
// named = the list of named arguments; each entry of the list has the form [passed-value, default-value, priority], where passed-value is the value that was passed at function call; default-value is the value that will be used if nothing is read from either named or positional arguments; priority is the priority assigned to this argument.
// _undef = the default value used by the calling function for all arguments (default is some random string that you will never use). (this is *not* undef, or any value that the user might purposely want to use as an argument value).
// named = the list of named arguments; each entry of the list has the form `[passed-value, <default-value>, <priority>]`, where `passed-value` is the value that was passed at function call; `default-value` is the value that will be used if nothing is read from either named or positional arguments; `priority` is the priority assigned to this argument (lower means more priority, default value is `+inf`). Since stable sorting is used, if no priority at all is given, all arguments will be read in order.
// _undef = the default value used by the calling function for all arguments. The default value, `_undef`, is a random string. This value **must** be the default value of all parameters in the outer function call (see example below).
//
//
//
// Examples:
// function f(arg1=_undef, arg2=_undef, arg3=_undef, named1=_undef, named2=_undef, named3=_undef) = let(named = get_named_args([arg1, arg2, arg3], [[named1, "default1"], [named2, "default2"], [named3, "default3"]])) named;

// echo(f(named1="given1", "given2")); // ["given1", "given2", "default3"]
// echo(f(undef, named1="given1", undef)); // ["given1", undef, undef]
// Example: a function with prototype `f(named1,< <named2>, named3 >)`
// function f(_p1=_undef, _p2=_undef, _p3=_undef,
// arg1=_undef, arg2=_undef, arg3=_undef) =
// let(named = get_named_args([_p1, _p2, _p3],

// // ["default1", "default2", "default3"]
// echo(f("given2", "given3", arg1="given1"));
// // ["given1", "given2", "given3"]

// // arg1 has highest priority, and arg3 is higher than arg2:
// echo(f("given1"));
// // ["given1", "default2", "default3"]
// echo(f("given3", arg1="given1"));
