What is the purpose of the variable name value in val lambda: (value: V) = { println(it) }? Documentation?

These names can be used for documenting the meaning of the parameters.

[Sam Stone]

Wouldn’t it be great if we could use the names for something?

[ephemient]

names should appear in the IDE

[Sam Stone]

I mean in code, like val lambda: (value: V) = { println(value) }

you would have to explicitly declare the name again inside the lambda body ( -> value) i was hoping that IDE could autocomplete named parameters at some point
