Keyword arguments...

[Norman Walsh <ndw@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Is it the case, as it appears to be, that in user-defined
functions with keyword arguments, the keyword arguments must
always appear last?

I'd like to define a function, "make-element", so that it could
be used just like the sgml backend's "make element" function.

  (make-element gi: "foo" attributes: '() some-sosofo)

But it seems I'm stuck with either

  (make-element some-sosofo gi: "foo" attributes: '())

or 

  (make-element gi: "foo" attributes: '() sosofo: some-sosofo)

Is that the case, or am I overlooking something?

                                        Cheers,
                                          norm
