I still know very little about ObjC, let alone pyobjc, but in my ideal would be
something like:

  obj.message(arg1name=arg1value, arg2name=arg2value)

This can't work directly, as keyword args in Python don't have an order, but I
wonder whether there is some lower level in the interpreter which would allow
the original keyword arg order to be maintained, but probably not. I'll have a
look at this when I have the time.
