AFAIK, no, some pythonic friends seem to agree with this.
I still don't understand what the CLish proposal adds over a pythonic 
one (sydney's one + **kw. I do like **kw split from *args).

The only two things that I understand as problematic are
- c API
- some fuzzy sense of danger ("he's seeing my arguments' name!")

OTOH it is much more complex, IMHO
