See https://bugs.python.org/issue33129. I've not done much with this issue, because I'm not crazy about the API, and I'd like to do something with positionally-only arguments at the same time. But I think in general it's a good idea.

The main benefits of this proposal:

- the order of fields (those with defaults, those without) is irrelevant
- don't need to pedantically add default = None for Optional values

I've created a helper class in my own library that enhances the existing dataclass:

a) __init__ accepts keyword-only arguments,
b) Optional[...] attribute without a specified default value would default to None in __init__.

I think this could be useful in stdlib. I'm thinking a dataclass decorator parameter like "init_kwonly" (default=False to provide backward compatibility) that if True would implement this behavior.

Thoughts?
