I am sorry but that would break backwards compatibility.
Say if in certain apps you have this (in alot of the earlier apps on
web2py.com do this too)
URL(request.application, 'static', 'logo.png')
Or
URL(request.application, 'default', 'index')
Unfortunately, we cannot re-arrange the variables defined in URL from this order
def URL(
a=None,
c=None,
f=None,
r=None,
args=[],
vars={},
anchor='',
extension=None,
env=None
):
