But, I don't see a lot of keyword-only parameters being added to stdlib code. Is there some position we've taken on this? Barring someone saying "stdlib APIs shouldn't contain keyword-only params", I'm inclined to make numericowner keyword-only.

I expect that's because keyword-only parameters are quite recent (3.x only) and most of the stdlib is quite old. Keyword-only feels right for this to me too. +1

Thanks. I'll make it keyword-only.

Eric.
