2. The constructor for Parameter objects should require that names for positional-only parameters start with "<" and end with ">" to ensure they can always be distinguished from standard parameters in signature string representations and in BoundArguments.parameters +1 Actually, can we just make positional-only parameters to render brackets in their/Signature's str methods?  I think Parameter.kind should be enough, without adding additional obstacles.

True, the check for name clashes in Signature (and the implied numeric "names") will cover the BoundArguments.parameters case

Cheers, Nick.
