Currently you're allowed at most one tuple and one dict,
and they have to be at the end of the parameter list,
by analogy with the def syntax.

This seems to be adequate for the main intended use --
passing parameters on to inherited methods. Doing
anything more complicated would be rather awkward
to implement.
