Is it possible to enhance the new syntax "Name=Value Syntax" introduced in version R2021a?

Specifically, further support for both positional and optional arguments, so that the readability of the program is significantly enhanced, rather than not seeing the obvious meaning of the arguments! For example, the following program fills an array, and I still get an error when I call it this way

能否对R2021a版本引入的“Name=Value Syntax”新语法进行功能增强？

具体内容是同时增强位置参数和可选参数的进一步支持，以便明显增强程序可读性，而不是看不出明显的参数含义！比如下面程序对一个数组进行填充，我这样调用仍然会出错

 A = [ 1 2 3 4 ]

A = 1×4

1 2 3 4

 B = padarray(A,3,9,'pre') % official document example, It is not easy to see the meaning of the numbers 3 and 9

B = 4×4

9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 1 2 3 4

It is not easy to see the meaning of the numbers 3 and 9, and I need to consult further documentation to confirm the meaning of the numbers, I would like to call it in the following way, but the latest version of R2021 does not support such enhanced syntax, I hope that future versions will be improved!

B = padarray(A,padsize=3,padval=9,direction='pre') % Desired enhancements，but there is an error！

Error using padarray>ParseInputs (line 88)
Too many input arguments.

Error in padarray (line 75)
[a, method, padSize, padVal, direction, catConverter] = ParseInputs(args{:});

Personally, I tend to favor compactness, but I can also see why an explicit KVP syntax would be desired. So long as it works alongside legacy syntaxes, I don't see why it's not worth an enhancement request. That said, I don't know how far it'll fly.

But even at that, a regular KVP syntax would look like

B = padarray(A,'padsize',3,'padval',9,'direction','pre')

instead of having assignments in the argument list.

Well don't I look dumb. I'm always a few years behind the curve, aren't I?

A few years being 4 months in this case, so I think you're still fine ;)
