The syntax question is already solved:

   def some_func(a, b, /, this, that, *, the_other):
       # some stuff

Everything before the slash is positional-only, between the slash and star is positional-or-keyword, and after the star is keyword-only. This is what is in our generated help(), and there is a nice symmetry between '/' and '*' being opposites, and positional/keyword being opposites. And slash is certainly no uglier than star. ;)
