Guido van Rossum added the comment:

I like this idea! I like the limitations to positional-only calls. I do think 
that it would be nice if we could speed up C calls too -- today, 
s.startswith('abc') is slower than s[:3] == 'abc' precisely because of the 
lookup. But I'm all for doing this one step at a time, so we can be sure it is 
solid before taking the next step(s).
