Hello,

currently, regarding positional arguments, `partial` gives us the option to partialize functions from the left. There's been some interest about partializing functions from the right instead (e.g. [SO post, 9k views, 39 upvotes](https://stackoverflow.com/q/7811247/3767239)), especially w.r.t. the various `str` methods.

Do you have other examples? That (and most likely similar) examples are just that the standard library contains methods and functions that could be fixed to accept keyword arguments. This would be less confusing and more coherent. / Anders
