Interesting, I forgot that the order of parameters can tell you things about how they are used. Did you arrive at your conclusion by assuming the "most variable" arguments come last?
No, by considering "what would be most useful as a specialisation". It's different psychologically, but not, I believe, pragmatically. Of course, that approach only worked this time because whoever designed the function must have done some similar thinking.
