Rails - Nov 2006 - Implementing keyword arguments

I really want to add the ability to use keyword arguments in Rails.
What''s the best way to implement this seemingly massive change?

  I can''t figure out if I should add a layer (plugin, perhaps) where I
accept both style of arguments and pass them along in the preferred
format/order, or attempt patching the methods directly.

  Actually, I''m hoping I''m /way/ off base and there''s
some way to
abstract this.

  Lists just seem so wrong, and so non-Rails, to me.

  Doesn''t password_field_tag(nil,nil, {:class =>
''some_class'', :id =>
''an_id''}) bother anyone else?

  Nil arguments? Ugh!

  I''d love to discuss this with anyone who''s inerested.

Thanks,
John

P.S.  Please let me know if this should be posted to a different list
