Seems like you're against positional parameters in general. 
What makes argument unpacking in a function definition different
that other positional parameter use cases.

Until csv and sql start returning records with field
name attributes instead of tuples, we'll need something like
we have now.  Also attribute access has performance issues
compared to tuple unpacking (sad fact of life).
