    """Decorator to convert unnamed arguments to named ones.

    Can be used to deprecate old signatures of a function, e.g.

    .. code-block::

        old_f(a: TypeA, b: TypeB, c: TypeC)
        new_f(a: TypeA, d: TypeD, b: TypeB=None, c: TypeC=None)

    Then, to support the old signature this decorator can be used as

    .. code-block::

        @name_args([
            ('a'),  # stays the same
            ('d', {TypeB: 'b'}),  # if arg is of type TypeB, call if 'b' else 'd'
            ('b', {TypeC: 'c'})
        ])

            if b is not None:
                # raise warning, this is deprecated!
            if c is not None:
                # raise warning, this is deprecated!
