</div>

The appendStylesheet function is defined via a docblock.

```auto
@method HeadLink appendStylesheet($href, $media = 'screen', $conditionalStylesheet = '', $extras = [])

```

I wanted to call the method with named parameters.

```auto
$this->headLink()->appendStylesheet(
    href: $this->getUrl($href, $absolute, $pathPrefix),
    media: $media,
    conditionalStylesheet: $conditionalStylesheet,
    extras: $extras,
);

```

This fails.

Without named parameters this works fine. Is this intended?

There is no real method with name `appendStylesheet`:
