[issue46527] enumerate no longer accepts iterable keyword argument

Trey Hunner report at bugs.python.org

New submission from Trey Hunner <trey at truthful.technology>:

While playing around with the main CPython branch against I noticed that enumerate now gives a strange error message when `iterable` is provided as a keyword argument:

>>> enumerate(iterable=[])
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: enumerate() missing required argument 'iterable'

When passing an invalid keyword argument (and no positional arguments) an interesting error message is also given:

>>> enumerate(hello="world")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: enumerate() missing required argument 'iterable'


The help output still shows that iterable is accepted as either a keyword argument or a positional argument.
