def dothings(firemissiles=False, plantflowers=False): ... dothings(plantflowers:=True) # whoops! If you want your API to be keyword-only, make it keyword-only. If you want a linter that recognizes unused variables, get a linter that recognizes unused variables. Neither of these is the fault of the proposed syntax; you could just as easily write this: dothings(plantflowers==True)

Unless you have a plant_flowers variable already defined, this will raise a NameError, not plant a silent bug.

Regards

Antoine.
