arguments struct expand like inputParser

Hi to anybody who could enlighten me

Matlab's arguments synthax is excelent for function's input validation and allow for very usuefull tip to the end user when using the function. However I found myself wondering if argument would replace inputParser in the future. I find inputParser to be way more flexible than arguments and would greatly miss such a functionality if it would ever get removed.

Technical context: for inputParser type functions, it is always possible to pass a struct as input to a Name-Value pair argument

function myFun(varargin)
p=inputParser;
p.addParameter('a',defaultValue,validationFunction)
p.addParameter('b',defaultValue,validationFunction)
p.StructExpand=true;    % true by default
end

could be called in two ways

myFun('a',myValueForA,'b',myValueForB)

or

s.a=myValueForA
s.b=myValueForB
myFun(s)

I am an avid user of the 2nd method and found myself in trouble when I tried using this sythax with the Name-Value structure of the arguments.

To repeat again the question: Is there a way to expand struct input to a function accepting Name-Value type using the arguments validation structure in the same maner as inputParser?

Thanks in advance for your answers
