Good idea!  I'm fine with changing the order of the arguments; the
function is still in the experimental phase and there's not much code
depending on it.

However, i'm not yet sure what would be the most intuitive and
optional-argument friendly order of arguments; somehow your suggestion
doesn't seem natural for me (but i don't feel strongly about it).
Does anyone else have opinions?

best,
Janek
