I don't think you're understanding how keyword arguments work in Python. Python automatically raises a TypeError if the wrong keyword arguments are passed to a function; based on argument name, not type. So if "username" and "password" are passed to authenticate(), your hypothetical "authenticator with 2 string arguments" will still raise a TypeError unless its two arguments are actually named "username" and "password" - in which case they should be exactly what you're expecting. And if only "token" is passed to authenticate(), calling the standard auth backend will raise TypeError, it won't "pass in the token as username" at all.
