(1)  Is this an explicit rejection of a keyword for a format string, such as

    print (x, y, z, fmt="My X: %s, Your Y: %s, His Z: %s")

(2)  What happens to additional keyword arguments that do get passed?
    (a)  A StandardError of some sort is raised.
    (b)  print is treated as though it had (but ignored) a **kwargs
argument, to support extensions in print-replacements.
    (c)  The extra arguments are printed at the end, perhaps with a label.
