Description

Propose to make Struct subclass constructors which accept keyword arguments. Not sure, if it's reasonable to allow .new accept kwargs, so may be should use different method named like .create:

  Point = Struct.new(:x,:y, :color)
  pt_1 = Point.create(x: 1, y: 2) # => Point<x: 1, y: 2, color: nil>
  pt_2 = Point.create!(x: 1, y: 2) # => ArgumentError, color not specified.

It will greatly simplify work with big structures, especially in cases when struct layout changes and for cases when structure can have lots of non-significant values. It also allows simpler ways to use implement default values for struct members.
