I'm working on adding a numeric_owner parameter to some tarfile methods (http://bugs.python.org/issue23193),
In a review, Berker suggested making the parameter keyword-only. I agree that you'd likely never want to pass just "True", but that "numeric_owner=True" would be a better usage. But, I don't see a lot of keyword-only parameters being added to stdlib code. Is there some position we've taken on this? Barring someone saying "stdlib APIs shouldn't contain keyword-only params", I'm inclined to make numeric_owner keyword-only. Is there anything stopping me from making it keyword-only? Thanks.
