My proposed syntax is a little complex--but complex is better than complicated and inconsistent and undocumented and inconvenient, which is what we have now.Certainly the argument conventions of these functions are not undocumented, so wonder what is.

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.
