Mesa does indeed allow keyword parameter lists, although I had to check my
manual to convince myself -- I don't think I ever saw one in 3 years at Xerox.
Cedar does its templating by abbreviation expansion combined with forms
fill-in, so the answer to whether procedure call templates exist is time- and
user-dependent.  But your scheme supposes no procedure call is written before
that procedure's declaration has been read -- that's some system!
