well of course it is possible that way. but it is not that.. "nice".
I have a really a big bunch of functions that can access about 10

at the moment i am using this alternative:
def method(paramA, paramB, paramC, **unused):
and the method is called via method(**params)

that is the problem.. the most methods have only about 2-3 lines, it
