Not a fan for two reasons: "Explicit is better than implicit", and you'd lose consistancy between related functions (either expose and validate should both have kwargs, or neither should) Plus, IMHO using type introspection is a bit broken (though sometimes necessary in python at the moment). +1 for validate, process is too generic -- wavy davy "True religion confronts earth with heaven and brings eternity to bear on time" - A.
