kwargs = keyword arguments
It's a common naming convention in python, as exemplified in
matplotlib.
That was meant more as a rhetorical question rather than a
real one.
Yes, I guessed the meaning by the surrounding context but
nevertheless it was a major WAT while skimming the post. Also,
Who the fuck cares whats common in Python? I was reading and
replying on the *D* NG, was I not?
Kwarg seems a reasonable name, consistent with a pre-existing
convention. Please suggest a better alternative if you have
one. I must admit I'm bemused by your level of aggression over
what appears to be a trivial matter.
Your read it wrong. Not aggression but rather annoyment.
Also, code readability is NOT a trivial matter and people who
think that it is should have their keyboard chopped off.
IMHO, I think the entire feature is a code smell and glad D does
not support it. Code that needs named parameters to be more
readable is poorly designed code in the first place.
