I suggest also allowing the first argument to be a keyword named sequence= as well. (along the philosophy of positional only arguments on APIs that happen to be implemented in C in CPython are a bad legacy) pypy already uses these names: https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/src/4cbeaa8bf545332c36ae277019772aa432693e4c/pypy/module/__builtin__/app_functional.py?at=default&fileviewer=file-view-default#app_functional.py-41
