This has some consequences. For example, inspect.getfullargspec, inspect.Signature, and indeed types.FunctionObject and types.CodeObject have no currently defined mechanism for communicating that a parameter is positional-only. inspect.Signature does have support for positional-only arguments, they have inspect.Parameter.POSITIONALONLY as their kind.

You're right! And I should have remembered that--I was one of the authors of the inspect.Signature PEP. It's funny, it can represent something that it has no way of inferring ;-)
