Hi Brian,

It looks like you had attached to issue5774 a patch to allow OpenKey to accept keyword arguments.  Just thought I'd mention that here so there's a link back to it.

Here's an expanded version of that patch to include two newer functions, plus docs and test.

The doc might need work on those signatures -- there was some discussion on IRC about how keyword arguments should be documented.

Forgot to attach the patch...

Attached is a better patch which, I think, uses better names.

CreateKeyEx, OpenKeyEx, and DeleteKeyEx (x64 only) all take named arguments. key, sub_key, reserved, and access are the names of the arguments. The tests run Create and Open regardless, but use DeleteKey or DeleteKeyEx depending on architecture. I think the docs correctly denote what was changed here.

Adding Amaury since he suggested these name changes on #5774.
