I also prefer the syntax:
f({x:2,y:3}) or the implied syntax f(dict(x=2,y=2))
as opposed to
f(x=2,y=3)
for exactly the reasons all of you stated above. Brian has expressed
his opinion here:
http://groups.google.com/group/sympy-patches/msg/fcedf3feed505e54
http://groups.google.com/group/sympy-patches/msg/6e23272b38c6249b
So let's implement it. I am sorry Lance it has taken so long to
discuss this, I think noone has realized all the possible problems
that arised.
Thanks,
Ondrej
