Something like that might be ok.  I do agree that we can't support every use case through keyword arguments, that would be a little crazy.  So we have to decide whether we want to use functional style for everything, or keep keyword style for some very common use cases and functional style for everything else.  Maybe functional style for everything is better, I'll have to think about it some though.
