[issue37456] FAQ says positional arguments aren't a thing
New submission from SoniEx2 <fakedme@gmail.com>: https://docs.python.org/3.8/faq/programming.html#what-does-the-slash-in-the-... "Note that as of this writing this is only documentational and no valid syntax in Python, although there is PEP 570, which proposes a syntax for position-only parameters in Python."
From what I understand, they are now a thing. Perhaps it's time to take that out?
