Certainly the argument conventions of these functions are not  
undocumented, so wonder what is. Also, inconvenient for what? What  
inconsistency problem does this PEP solve?  

Whether or not a particular function accepts keyword arguments is undocumented. I have in the past been inconvenienced by this not being clear. The documentation uses two approaches for documenting option groups, effectively at random, which is inconsistent.
