Very often the first thing to be done after creating a class is to initialize some of its fields and properties.

For example:

with p := new Point(param1, param1) do begin
    p.x := 10;
    p.y := 20;
    // other code
  end;

Oxygene allows you to add named parameters after the normal constructor parameters. These are in the form name := value thus allowing the code above to be replaced by:

with p := new Point(param1, param1, x := 10, y := 20) do begin
    // code
  end;

This extended syntax is only supported for constructor and the named parameters can only be placed after the normal parameters.
