No thanks. The arguments hockey jungle in jQuery is painstakingly designed
for fastest possible code execution path, while simultaneously maintaining
support for insane user requests over the last 6 years.
In a nutshell: jQuery isn't implementing to asserts (ie. function asserts)
anytime soon.

Which are _really_ exhaustive—every single function signature and
polymorphic "overload" is described in a consistent form in the docs.

+1, it's easiest API design win: single options object as primary
signature, optional special cased parametric polymorphism if you're feeling
sassy.
