  def foo(a,b=None):pass
  foo(b=1,2)

With Python 2.5(compiled as of 2006-04-23), this code
runs without any error.

In older Python(although I didn't check every version
of it), I get
File "foo.py", line 2
foo(b=1,2)
SyntaxError: non-keyword arg after keyword arg

Confirmed 2.5 behaviour and regression from 2.[34].

Thanks! I modified the patch a bit. seen_kw wasn't
necessary since nkeywords works just as well.
