So you're saying if `bytes.translate()` accepted keyword arguments, its signature would look something like this? ``` bytes.translate(table, delete=None) ``` I guess I was under the mistaken assumption that argument names in the docs always matched keyword arguments in the signature. But you're right, a strictly positional argument (I guess specified via something like `args*`?) doesn't have a name.
