The documentation is vague on this point. The argument names are
descriptive only in most cases. The actual arguments are strictly
positional. While technically the argument signature for Surface.blit
is (*args), this is also misleading as blit has only fixed aguments.
Such documenting practices also show up in Python builtins:

Lenard, thanks for the extensive explanation about documentation.
Certainly this style for documentation is more readable that the
syntax correct:
. pygame.Surface( source, dest [, area [, special_flags]] )
Unambiguous alternative can be:
. pygame.Surface( source, dest, area <- None , special_flags <- 0 )
But probably a brief 'conventions' section in the documentation can be
enought (and wellcomed).

An explanation in the docs would help. But then again keyword arguments
may get added to all functions in Pygame 1.9. I don't know the plans on
this.
