Description
If a procedure call is not in the extern namespace, then it's a HTCL procedure call. HTCL has no positional args, only keyword args. This should be an error from the analyzer, or at least a warning.

Research direction
Start in the analyzer's procedure-call handling and trace how calls in the extern namespace are distinguished from HTCL calls. Done means positional arguments on non-external calls produce an analyzer warning or error, while external calls retain their existing behavior.
