I don't see it. Can you give examples of all the variations of slicing
and their keyword equivalent so I understand what you mean? I'll write
out the slicing variants and you can fill in how it would look with
keyword arguments:
x[:]
x[a:]
x[-a:]
x[a:b]
x[-a:b]
x[a:-b]
x[-a:-b]
x[:b]
x[:-b]
x[kw=:] x[kw=a:] x[kw=-a:] x[kw=a:b] x[kw=-a:b] x[kw=a:-b] x[kw=-a:-b]
x[kw=:b] x[kw=:-b]
I don't see what's confusing. All that's needed is for the slice
syntax ['colon operator', if you like] to have higher precedence than
the keyword syntax, as it already has higher precedence than the comma.
I look forward to the walrus operator being thrown in, too!
I realize you'd have to use parens for the walrus operator to be used
inside [].
