fun main() {
    // Positional — easy when there's only one or two args
    createRequest("https://example.com")
    createRequest("https://example.com", "POST")

    // Named — skip middle defaults, document call site
    createRequest(
        url             = "https://api.example.com",
        timeoutMs       = 5_000,
        followRedirects = false,
    )

    // Mix positional + named: positionals first, then named
    createRequest("https://example.com", timeoutMs = 1_000)

    // Java callers don't get named args — use @JvmOverloads if needed:
    // @JvmOverloads fun createRequest(url: String, method: String = "GET", ...)
