You can define it like this:

foo(1, 2, 3; many_more::Int=error("many_more is a required keyword
argument"))


We may, in the future, allow this to be written this way:

foo(1, 2, 3; many_more::Int)


but currently that won't work.

[julia-users] Allowing keywords in function calls without default values

[AVF]

I want to write a function foo(x, y, z, many_more), which I could call as 
foo(1, 
2, 3, 5) or foo(1, 2, 3, many_more=5), but I don't want to have to supply a 
default value for many_more in my function's definition. I just want to 
have the option of not remembering the positions of x...many_more without 
required having default values for them.

Is that currently possible? Thanks...
