Looking at the patch committed in r79235, it changes the message to display the
total number of arguments passed in and not just required ones. This specific
change should be reversed since it produces messages like the one quoted above.
(In case you were wondering, passing another optional keyword argument does
indeed result in a complaint that at least 3 arguments are taken but 4 are
passed.) For even better results, I would suggest rewording the message to make
it clear that the requirement refers only to arguments without default values.
