I"m confused, what does the [:4] mean?

if you want old and new to be positional only, wouldn't it be something
like:

@positional_only(3)
    def replace(self, old, new, count=-1):
        ...

i.e. the first three parameters are positional only.

and why indexing/slice syntax???

+! on the idea -- still on the fence about syntax.
