Yeah I hear you. As a general rule I like to keep less than 5
arguments to a function for readability and maintainability, but the
flip side is a dispatch function with a lot of ( if !kwargs.has("foo")
). These code dispatchers seem like they will rapidly grow in number
of args so I wanted to nip that bud early, but if you feel it is too
much just drop it.
