Interesting - I wasn't aware that unlabeled arguments existed
(primarily because they're not used in Cocoa). I'd stay away from
them, as they're strictly less clear than named arguments, and will
probably confuse other programmers just as they did me.
In the predecessor to Cocoa, NeXTSTEP, there were a handful of methods
that were named with bare arguments.
Many examples can be found here:

Like:
makeCellAt:(int)row :(int)col
It was, for the very reasons you describe, eliminated in the move to
OpenStep and, finally, Cocoa. I don't believe there are any such
methods left in the supported Cocoa API.
