How to deal with name/value pairs of function arguments in MATLAB

What if you need to create a function with tones of optional parameters. Is there a way to call that functions later on naming passed arguments for readability:

foo(123, and=456)

The comparable way of doing this in Matlab is to have name/value pairs:

foo(123,'and',456,'something',[1 2 3])
