Reducing Function Parameter Number

[davidcbhunter]

I recently ran into an issue with the function Page.insert_text. This function has two required parameters, and can take up to 17 total parameters. This seems excessive.

I'd like to propose introducing a number of small classes that would reduce the number of parameters that this and similar functions take. For example, have a TextStyle class that would contain font name, font size, color, and encoding (and potentially other information). If you pass that to the function, that would reduce 4 separate parameters into 1. Similarly, Point and rotation could be combined into a Transform class that contains the positional and rotational information.

Does this seem like a reasonable change? Would it simply enough other functions to be justified?
