My previous post was just wild brainstorming. I'd be
perfectly happy with
def f(a, b, *, c, d = x):
# c and d are keyword only, c is required,
# no extra positional args allowed
I don't buy the argument that bare * should mean "extra
positional args ignored", since there's already a way of
saying that:
def f(a, b, *others):
# and then don't bother doing anything with others
As shown above, I don't see any extra difficulty there.
