read_excel documentation does not mention names keyword

[PBrockmann]

http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/generated/pandas.read_excel.html
does not mention the keyword "names"

import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_excel('yourfile.xls', header=None, names=['Attribut', 'Value'])

is equivalent but simpler to

df = pd.read_excel(file, sheetname='Metadata', header=None)
df.columns = ['Attribut', 'Value']

names keyword is defined as in read_csv
names: List of column names to use as column names. To replace header existing in file, explicitly pass header=0.

suppose that's reasonable. a number of parameters are actually passed thru to read_csv.

a pull-request to add to the doc-string (and as a named parameter) would be helpful.
