Simultaneous dispatch on positional and keyword arguments just seems nuts.
Jeff and I spent a lot of time talking about that and could never come up
with anything that seemed sane or comprehensible, so it ended up being what
it is now. Another option would be to dispatch on positional arguments
fir
Yes, that was considered, but was never implemented. Best I could find is

I believe it was considered at some point to let dispatch distinguish between
functions taking keyword arguments and functions taking no keyword arguments?
Unfortunately, the rule is simple: "dispatch never looks at keyword arguments."

Consider the following code:
function periodogram(x::Array)
n = length(x)
I_w = abs(fft(x)).^2 ./ n
w = 2pi * [0:n-1] ./ n # Fourier frequencies
# int rounds to nearest integer. We want to round up or take 1/2 + 1 to
