+Explicit arguments instead of \*args, \*\*kwargs
+------------------------------------------------
+
+:PEP:`3102` describes keyword-only arguments, which allow Matplotlib
+to provide explicit call signatures - where we previously used
+``*args, **kwargs`` and ``kwargs.pop``, we can now expose named
+arguments.  In some places, unknown kwargs were previously ignored but
+now raise ``TypeError`` because ``**kwargs`` has been removed.
+
+- :meth:`matplotlib.axes.Axes.margins` and
+  :meth:`mpl_toolkits.mplot3d.Axes3D.margins` no longer accept
+  arbitrary keywords.  ``x``, ``y``, and (for Axes3D) ``z`` may
+  be passed as either keyword or positional arguments.
