Even better would be to show full context on one or a few cases where this
syntax helps. I've found that many proposals in this mailing list have
better solutions when one can see the complete code. If your proposal seems
like the best solution after seeing the context, that can be more
compelling than some assertion about 30% of parameters.

If you can't share proprietary code, why not link to a good example in the
Django project? If nothing else, maybe Django could get a pull request out
of this.
