How about a naming convention instead, where using a leading underscore in a parameter name is a hint that it is positional-only. For example, the docstring of sorted: sorted(iterable, key=None, reverse=False) --> new sorted list would become: sorted(_iterable, key=None, reverse=False) --> new sorted list It seems more intuitive than the slash, and requires no change to the toolchain.
And the spelling for range()? curses.window.addch()? I suggest your proposed syntax is insufficient to codify existing practice.
In any case, boy am I -1 on this. If you wish to continue this proposal further please write your own PEP.
