I agree completely.
However, it turns out I have to communicate code with and from people 
that have a coding standard that dictates using keyword arguments for 
all interfaces. Those functions will also benefit from the cache system 
as many of them involves database lookups.

In any case, your response gave me another thing that my solution won't 
handle so I'm going to just leave it as it is and look at it if I ever 
need it for positional arguments, which I honestly don't believe I will.
