New submission from Raymond Hettinger:
This is a usability and readability improvement made possible by Python 3's
keyword only arguments.
Usability is improved by getting a much less confusing response from the
following mistake:
namedtuple('Point', 'x', 'y')
^--- invisibly goes to the "verbose" argument
The "verbose" argument is normally used interactively (much like help() and
dis()) or is used with a keyword argument, so it is unlikely that existing
scripts will be much affected. For the rare cases, the remediation is simple
and improves code clarity (replacing "True" with "verbose=True").
