Comment (by melinath):
On the other hand, "beautiful is better than ugly". If I really want to
maintain backwards-compatibility, I need to make the additional argument
optional. Comparison:
1. Original signature: `(params, defaults, name, node_class, parser,
token)`
2. New signature: `(parser, token, params, defaults, name, node_class,
varargs)`
3. Alternate: `(params, defaults, name, node_class, varargs, parser,
token)`
4. Backwards-compatible signature: `(params, defaults, name, node_class,
parser, token, varargs=None)`
4 is taking a turn down an inelegant path. I really would rather do 2 or
3.
