Yep. Even better than type signatures, when you have three floats in a row.

Or it makes it easy to figure out you can do something like
   Color newcolor = new Color(oldcolor, newalpha)
and see that there's an overload for constructing a color out of the RGB of 
one color and a specific alpha value.

(And no, the "new" is syntactic noise there - it doesn't allocate anything 
on the heap.)
