I'm wondering whether parens should be required when there are both
keyword args and more than one positional arg in an index. I.e instead
of
a[1, 2, k = 3]
you would have to write
a[(1, 2), k = 3]
That would make it clearer that the indexing syntax still really only
takes one positional arg,
I see the appeal here, but then:
a[1, 2]
would be legal, and suddenly
a[1,2, this=4]
would not. if the keywords were optional (aren't they always?) then that would be pretty confusing.
-CHB
and why, if you transform it into
idx = (1, 2)
a[idx, k = 3]
you don't/can't write it as
a[*idx, k = 3]
