Can you make a more concrete suggestion?  "type" strikes me as a poor choice of name, as it makes one think immediately of type(), which is another, uh, variety of "type". kind -> "position" or "kewordonly" or "vararg" or "kwarg"

I prefer the flags. Flags means I can just look at the Parameter object. A "type" or "kind" or whatever means I need to compare to a bunch of constants. That's more stuff to remember.
