Unrecognized parameters throw error

[jkwashbourne]

An example below is provided for specifying derivative types. This issue is suggesting the second form bellow should throw an error, pehaps UnrecognizedParameterError.

Correct, results in desired behavior

from devito import left, right
p.dx(side=right)

Incorrect, results in default centered behavior

p.dx(side="right")

I would say yes.

Another reason this would be useful (from #774, now closed as superseded by this issue)

for example, this would be useful to catch typos:

f = Function(name='f', ..., space_ordere=0)

execution goes through this and eventually f gets the default space_order, namely 1
