My mistake - I thought that was currently legal, and didn't check it. So no,
I'd keep the current rule - once you pass one positional argument as a
keyword, you have to do the same for all subsequent positional arguments.
Which implies that "positional-only" arguments would have to come *before* the
current normal arguments that can be passed either way.
Cheers,
Nick.
