Needs better error msg?

b.sw:
func findIndex<T: Equatable>(array: [T], _ valueToFind: T) -> Int? {
    for (index, value) in array.enumerated() {
        if value == valueToFind {
            return index
        }

b.sw:10:44: error: unnamed argument #2 must precede unnamed argument #1
let foundAtIndex = findIndex([1, 2, 3, 4], 3)
                             ~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^
                             3 [1, 2, 3, 4]

The error seems to arise from the requirement:

If a parameter has an argument label, the argument *must* be labeled when

you call the function.

Instead the shown error assumes the order is swapped because first argument
was unnamed. Should the former (from requirement) be shown as the error
here?

Yeah, that would make much more sense. If you have a moment, would you be able to report this as a bug on bugs.swift.org?

I believe we already have one: https://bugs.swift.org/browse/SR-2242\.
