For many builtins, this would be a total waste, slowing down the calls, and supplying keyword names that would be meaningless or just weird. For example, chr(i=65) is just a waste.
Keyword args should only be added where they would add clarity to something that would otherwise be ambiguous.
FWIW, that is the reason that sorted() required a keyword argument. It prevents confusion between key-functions and cmp-functions. |
