While it's been clarified that this isn't dangerous, I find it to be a
really annoying style, as you've lost the opurtuniyt to docuemnt somethign
in the signature. Is:
def __init__(self, option_1=some_default, option_n=some_default,
**kwargs):
first_arg = kwargs.pop('option_1')
nth_arg = kwargs.pop('option_n')
*that* much harder to write?
And many of these come with virtually no docstring, either.....
oh well,
