Subject: Keyword arguments like grandma makes 'em

I'm messing around with some methods trying to figure out how to offer
all the functionality I want in a clean interface and I stumbled across
an idea that may be better for keyword arguments.

Instead of

  grab 'x', :from => 'y'

I really wanted to write:

  grab 'x' from 'y'

I think everyone would prefer such a syntax if it can be done. Since
commas are used to deliminate arguments normally, it seems like it
should be possible to use parameter keywords as delimeters too.
