> Or should we be satisfied with the half-measure of including the qualname but not the module (at least for now)?

This is something I was wondering myself, too (also for other contexts). Let's take things one step at a time and limit ourselves just to __qualname__ in this issue. Including the module name can be discussed in a separate issue. (This question also comes up for the __repr__ of objects -- sometimes it includes the fully qualified name and sometimes it doesn't.)

For your last question, does this work?

>>> def foo(**kwargs): pass
... 
>>> foo(**{1: 2})
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: keywords must be strings
