Details

Named parameters are significantly more flexible and far less prone to developer error than indexed parameters. From what I understand, JS supports named parameters, but if C++ doesn't, one of the more dangerous places for errors in parameter binding is being overlooked.

The Tuple interface in Bug 435994 provides a good way to do this, although using nsIVariants won't be so pleasant in C++. Won't be so bad with XPCOMGC...
mozIStorageStatement has a getColumnIndex method that takes a name. With this, you can then bind on index. Future APIs will be designed with named columns in mind, but as far as I'm concerned this bug is WORKSFORME.
