Yes, but it is still weak. E.g. compare it with Python:

def fun(a, b='bb', *args, **kwargs):
  print a, b, args, kwargs

fun(1,2,3,4)
# 1 2 (3, 4) {}

fun(1,2,3, x=11, y=22)
# 1 2 (3,) {'y': 22, 'x': 11}

fun(b=111, a=222)
#222 111 () {}

fun(b=111, a=222, x='blah')
# 222 111 () {'x': 'blah'}

fun(a='aa', c='cc')
# aa bb () {'c': 'cc'}
