Invoke constructor with named arguments via dart_api.h calls

I am trying to invoke the const Duration constructor from a Dart native extension. How would I use the Dart_New C function to invoke this constructor?

I've tried just invoking it like any other Dart_New call but I get an Incorrect number of arguments error.

The following code fragment is from the great oracle.dart library for interfacing with Oracle databases. It reads an Oracle date from the result set and creates a new Dart DateTime object with 6 constructor arguments.

void OracleResultSet_getDate(Dart_NativeArguments args) {
  Dart_EnterScope();

  auto rs = getThis<occi::ResultSet>(args);
  int64_t index = getDartArg<int64_t>(args, 1);

  occi::Date date;
  try {
    date = rs->getDate(index);
  } CATCH_SQL_EXCEPTION

  int year;
  unsigned int month;
  unsigned int day;
  unsigned int hour;
  unsigned int min;
  unsigned int seconds;
  date.getDate(year, month, day, hour, min, seconds);

  std::vector<Dart_Handle> dargs;
  dargs.push_back(Dart_NewInteger(year));
  dargs.push_back(Dart_NewInteger(month));
  dargs.push_back(Dart_NewInteger(day));
  dargs.push_back(Dart_NewInteger(hour));
  dargs.push_back(Dart_NewInteger(min));
  dargs.push_back(Dart_NewInteger(seconds));

  Dart_Handle lib = GetDartLibrary("dart:core");
  Dart_Handle type = HandleError(Dart_GetType(lib, Dart_NewStringFromCString("DateTime"), 0, NULL));
  Dart_Handle obj = HandleError(Dart_New(type, Dart_Null(), 6, &dargs[0]));

  Dart_SetReturnValue(args, obj);
  Dart_ExitScope();
}
