It was a vestige of Python 2: as you can see, we can express the keyword-only arguments after a
*arrays
without any trouble in Python 3. This is relevant because the documentation will be generated with more information now—these extra arguments and their defaults will appear in the HTML rendering of the function signatures.Also,
ak.broadcast_arrays
was missing information about itsbroadcast_parameters_rule
argument. Presumably, that was an oversight? (And it demonstrates the problem withak._util.extra
.)📚 The documentation for this PR will be available at https://awkward-array.readthedocs.io/en/jpivarski-remove-extra-argument-helper/ once Read the Docs has finished building 🔨
