A single '*' could indicate that no additional positional arguments were 
permitted.

def f(*, paramA, paramB=10):
   print paramA, paramB

Here paramA and paramB can only be passed as keywords, and paramA *has* to be 
passed as it has no default.

Utterly magical to anyone not already familiar with the use of *args, though.

Cheers,
Nick.
