❔ What of use is the identifier for the delegate?

I do think

public delegate void NumManipulationHandler(string state);

public delegate void NumManipulationHandler(string state);

can be modified into

public delegate void NumManipulationHandler(string);

public delegate void NumManipulationHandler(string);

but it hates to do it.

Afaik there is literally no purpose to it, other than perhaps being able to use named arguments

Could you please give an example for the named arguments related to it?

foo(b: "abc", a: 2);

delegate void Foo(int a, string b);

Foo foo = (a, b) => Console.WriteLine($"{b} {a}");
foo(b: "abc", a: 2);

Console Output

Or bool arguments I nearly always name bool arguments when using a literal
