Add a paragraph that callers need to specify all positional parameters before named ones, even if the positional parameters have defaults. Delete a sentence stating that there is no way for the caller to provide a value for a named parameter after an optional positional parameter. There _is_ a way, you just need to provide values for positional parameters.
