Thanks for the correction Georg.

In msg104113 (on #8350), I quoted 
http://docs.python.org/dev/reference/expressions#calls :

“An implementation may provide built-in functions whose positional parameters 
do not have names, even if they are ‘named’ for the purpose of documentation, 
and which therefore cannot be supplied by keyword.”

Previous consensus seemed to be that this warning was enough, but recent bugs 
such as this one show that it does trip up users, so there is further 
discussion about how best to document this CPython limitation (hence the 
dependency I’m adding).

dependencies: +Document lack of support for keyword arguments in C functions
