Thank you :) It was getting pretty strange there.

The variation that I was thinking of was a little shorter, but not
necessarily better:

   def foo( a, b; x=1, y=2 ): ...

BTW I still haven't given up on working on an implementation for
keywords after *args, but it's been going rather slowly due to lack
of time to sit down and focus.

I know you want implementations rather than PEPs at this point,
but if there is a consensus on both the "keywords after *args" and
"keyword only" arguments, I can write up a PEP for that, if that
would be useful.
