That's not a use case for the proposed feature. The
intended use cases are more like
def fancy_file_processing(delete, archive):
extra_processing_for_deleted(delete)
other_processing_for_archived(archive)
basic_file_processing(delete=delete, archive=archive)
Since fancy_file_processing is a wrapper around
basic_file_processing, it makes sense to name the
corresponding arguments the same way.
Now maybe someone will misuse it in a situation that
doesn't involve wrapping and warp their local names
to fit. But any language feature can be abused. The
blame for abuse lies with the abuser, not the feature.
