Something doesn't sound quite right here.  The Python syntax rule is
that any optional argument can be specified either positionally, or by
keyword.  Yes, you often see keyword args when **kwargs is present in
the function definition, but from what I read in the book, that isn't
the only place where it's allowed.

Or is the problem that the function definition effectively has a *args
argument?
