Now, suppose you wanted to have 'key' be a keyword-only argument. Why? Why not let the user type the additional argument(s) without the parameter name? Like Martin, you clipped most of the essential context of my question: Talin's second proposal.

I clipped it because I couldn't understand your question: "Why" what? (the second question only gives "Why not") I then assumed that the question must have applied to the text that immediately preceded the question - hence that's the text that I left.

Now I understand, though.

Regards, Martin
