Interesting observation, Martin. Upon further consideration, the call signature for sorted really is quite odd. It doesn't behave like any other builtin function. Currently, "iterable" is positional-only, and "key=" and "reverse=" are keyword only. I would only expect such behavior for functions with variadic *args. I uploaded a new patch so that the call signature matches the original __text_signature__. This means "iterable" may be given as a keyword argument, and "key" and "reverse" may be given as positional arguments. I added tests for the new behavior, and all tests pass for me.
