-----------------------------------------

             Summary: @NamedVariant support ignoring arguments
                 Key: GROOVY-10567
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-10567
             Project: Groovy
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Leonard Brünings


Currently, the {{@NamedVariant}} will create a map version for all parameters. This makes it impossible to use as [extension method|https://groovy-lang.org/metaprogramming.html#_extension_modules] as the receiver couldn't be defined.

I would propose something along the lines of
{code:groovy}
@NamedVariant
void coolExtension(@NamedVariant.Ignore File file, String p1 = '', String p2 = '') {
 //
}
{code}
This would then generate

{code:groovy}
@Generated
void coolExtension(File file, Map namedArgs) {
 //
}
{code}

You could apply {{@NamedVariant.Ignore}} only from the left, without interruptions, and those arguments would then be added as standard positional arguments.
