as an alternative we could think about a solution >similar< to cdi qualifiers. that would be also useful for cross-field validation.
i would like to suggest a wiki which shows all possibilities side by side (+ examples).

I like the idea of introducing an interface for parameter name resolution.
The default and simple implementation would be the enumerated names.
Other implementations could be based on byte code enhancing (like
mentioned here)
or a meta model created by an annotation processor (like Kevin suggested
in HV-409).
