I know, I was just referring to making this a standard python function with *args, **kwargs. This PEP only solves one specific problem (keyword arguments), while it seems like it would be worth while solving all of them (no arguments, tuple vs. list, and having to learn a special one-off syntax for just this special method). That’s what I meant. Being able to select on axis out of many to perform an operation (possibly using h[_3=2:5] ) would already be a big win for boost-histogram, for example.
You still would not be able to. The semantics of that operation are unchanged (for backward compatibility)
