Only two remaining functions within the Python API where it was considered more appropriate to use keyword arguments rather than ordered arguments. Was raised in #1736, but is ultimately downstream from #1449.

For any future additional capabilities in the API, experience suggests that keyword arguments should be used fairly liberally. Even if it initially looks like a function only needs one optional parameter, it only requires one new capability to be added to that function that itself requires an optional argument, and you then have argument order ambiguity.
