FWIW, I would rather not see the docs littered with "/". I've taught Python to 
hundreds of professional software engineers over the last five years and in all 
that time nobody has ever asked when the args need to be positional. It's easy 
to experiment to find out and it's historically been an implementation detail. 
I think the number of times people are surprised is far less than the number of 
times people never notice at all. As Raymond described, this change will 
elevate the feature to a day-1 topic and it's pretty useless to a day-1 user. 
This is another step toward making what I see as an unfortunate implementation 
detail into formal semantics.
