Subject: put_async should support all put parameters
Original description:
http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/pywikipedia-l/2011-December/007048.html

"""
Page has this method:
def put\_async\(self, newtext,
comment=None, watchArticle=None, minorEdit=True, force=False,

It says: All arguments  are the same as for .put\(\), except callback:

But three of the parameters of Page.put is missing: sysop=False, botflag=True, maxTries=-1.
"""

The queue currently uses \(page, parm1, parm2, ...\) tuples, which are not practical. This should be changed to, for instance, \(page, args, kwargs\), so that page.put\(\) can be called using page.put\(\*args, \*\*kwargs\).
