Lurking around the discussions I started to wonder whether this syntax actually worths the burden it introduces. As you have commented out earlier, there are no use cases in the built-in types, perhaps a research would be great regarding possible use cases of keyword arguments in and out of the stdlib. Here is an example: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0572/#examples-from-the-python-standard-library that was done for PEP 572, which actually helped me a lot to understand/comprehend the proposal. Now looking at PEP 637, even with the theoretical examples given, it seems like we are introducing a redundant syntax that has no other value than just complicating the already complex subscript notation and becoming a bad alternative to function call syntax.
