I definitely hate the above version. Intermixing auto-named values with
bound values is super-confusing and a huge bug magnet. However, the
following does not look bad ONLY if the mode-switch is strictly to
bare-names-only after the switch:
render_template("index.html",
username=user["display_name"],
setups=database.list_setups(channelid),
checklist=database.get_checklist(channelid),
timers=database.list_timers(channelid),
**,
twitter,
channel,
channelid,
error,
sched_tz,
schedule,
sched_tweet,
tweets,
**more_kwargs)
Putting the named parameters strictly first gives a hint to the fact that
the rest are "special named parameters" (with auto-naming).
