[SNIP] Let's consider replacement of 'Parameter.is*' set of attributes with a single 'Parameter.kind' attribute, which will have the following possible values: 'positional', 'vararg', 'keyword-only', 'varkwarg'. (I think 'positional' is more intuitive than 'index'?)

+1 if this change is made.

How about adding 'kind' and keeping 'is_*' attributes, but making them read-only dynamic properties, i.e.:

class Parameter: ...

   @property
   def is_vararg(self):
       return self.kind == 'vararg'

   ...

?

Thanks,

Yury
