Sounds reasonable to me. The main distinction points are positional
arguments vs. keyword arguments vs. local variables. Whether the positional
ones are positional or positional-only is irrelevant in many cases.

It's not a commonly used function, and it's easy for C code to adapt. I
don't think it's worth adding a new function to the C-API here, compared to
just changing the signature. Very few users would benefit, at the cost of
added complexity.
