URL() has a long and complicated history, and this peculiar behavior is a
consequence of that history. The original idea was that you'd call it with
positional arguments for a,c,f, but as it sprouted more arguments, and became
able to automatically reference request, it's become more "natural" to always
specify argument names.
This particular odd behavior could be fixed, and probably should be fixed. It'd
cause backward compatibility problems for someone who actually wrote
URL(a='functionname'), but I'd be surprised if that's happening; the intent was
that you'd write URL('functionname') in that case.
[The fix I have in mind is to make the first three arguments of URL something
like (acf1, acf2, acf3, ...) and push (a,c,f) into **kwargs.]
