One way to reduce the complexity is to use configuration templates that contain useful defaults, and then overwrite the properties that need to be changed for the desired configuration. \n\n`@override` has been created to provide this templating system for Python function calls. It is mostly used for class constructors, but any method can benefit. The `@overrides` decorator adds a `kwargs` parameter which can be given a template of default parameters; but unlike `**kwargs`, it will not raise duplicate key exceptions.\n\n## Provide default values\n\nWe decorate the `login()` function with `@override`. In this case, `username` is a required parameter, and `password` will default to `None`. \n\n        @override\n        def login(username, password=None):\n            pass\n\nDefine some `dicts` for use with our `kwargs` parameter:\n\n        creds = {"userame": "ekyle", "password": "password123"}\n        alt_creds = {"username": "klahnakoski"}\n\n\nThe simplest case is when we use `kwargs` with no overrides\n\n        login(kwargs=creds)\n        # SAME AS\n        login(**creds)\n        # SAME AS\n        login(username="ekyle", password="password123")\n\nYou may override any property in `kwargs`: In this case it is `password`\n\n        login(password="123", kwargs=creds)\n        # SAME AS\n        login(username="ekyle", password="123")\n\nThere is no problem with overriding everything in `kwargs`:\n\n        login(username="klahnakoski", password="asd213", kwargs=creds)\n        # SAME AS\n        login(username="klahnakoski", password="asd213")\n\nYou may continue to use `**kwargs`; which provides a way to overlay one parameter template (`creds`) with another (`alt_creds`)\n\n        login(kwargs=creds, **alt_creds)\n        # SAME AS\n        login(username="klahnakoski", password="password123")\n\n## Handle too many parameters\n\nSometimes your method parameters come from a configuration file, or some other outside source which is outside your control. There may be more parameters than your method is willing to accept.  \n\n        creds = {"username": "ekyle", "password": "password123", "port":9000}\n        def login(username, password=None):\n             print(kwargs.get("port"))\n\nWithout `mo-kwargs`, passing the `creds` dictionary directly to `login()` would raise a key error\n\n        >>> login(**creds)\n        Traceback (most recent call last):\n          File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>\n        TypeError: login() got an unexpected keyword argument \'port\'\n            \nThe traditional solution is to pass the parameters explicitly:\n\n        login(username=creds.username, password=creds.password)\n\nbut that can get get tedious when done often, or the parameter list get long. `mo-kwargs` allows you to pass the whole dictionary to the `kwargs` parameter; only the parameters used by the method are used:\n\n        @override\n        def login(username, password=None):\n            pass\n         \n        login(kwargs=creds)\n        # SAME AS\n        login(**creds)\n\n## Package all parameters\n\nYour method can accept `kwargs` as a parameter. If it does, ensure it defaults to `None` so that it\'s not required.\n\n        @override\n        def login(username, password=None, kwargs=None):\n            print(kwargs.get("username"))\n            print(kwargs.get("port"))\n\n`kwargs` will always be a dict, possibly empty, with the full set of parameters. This is different from using `**kwargs` which contains only the remainder of the keyword parameters.\n\n        >>> creds = {"username": "ekyle", "password": "password123", "port":9000}\n        >>> login(**creds)\n        ekyle\n        9000\n',
