Oliver Smith added the comment:
The term "optional arguments" is a poorly formed adjectival suffix of "option". What it's trying to say is "these are kwargs" rather than "these arguments are not compulsory".
I ran into this issue with 3.4 and was looking to file a simple change request:
In early DOS/Linux days we called these "switches". I suggest we simply change the default wording from "optional arguments" to "switches".
