Description

Coming from discussions [1] around combining all timeout library arguments and some changes done within the core and used by the browser library there is a thought/proposal to use all named arguments as compared to both named and positional ones within the library import.

[At the moment, this is more of a placeholder then a full description as I myself am still understanding the issue/proposal. But as a way to have an open discussion we want to place this here so we can start to describe, understand and discuss possibilities around this topic.]
