I say I’m talking about cases where you can’t use f-strings and you directly
talk about f-strings… I think you might have missed the point.

Sure. Run this script against django:
https://gist.github.com/boxed/e60e3e19967385dc2c7f0de483723502
<https://gist.github.com/boxed/e60e3e19967385dc2c7f0de483723502>
It will print all function calls that are positional and have > 2 arguments.
Not a single one is good as is, all would be better with keyword arguments. A
few of them are pass through as discussed before, but far from all.
For example:
django-master/django/http/multipartparser.py 225
handler.new_file(
field_name, file_name, content_type,
content_length, charset, content_type_extra,
)
That’s positional because keyword is more painful.
