Description

As mentioned here:

https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/8271#discussion_r500897047

we cannot support

pc.split_pattern(arr, "---")

where the second argument is a positional argument of the FunctionObject class.

I think it makes sense for a small subset (like this function) to support non-keyword arguments.
