Using keyword arguments is not painful. It's ugly in some unusual cases,
such as creating helper functions with nearly the same signature.

I try to avoid that situation in my own code. It sometimes requires a
significant design change, but I'm usually pleased with the results. If you
don't have the inclination to reconsider the design, it could be nice to
create a standard code pattern for these pass-through functions to make
them more beautiful.
