No.

"iloc" sounds like a new Apple product to keep strangers out of your 
home, or maybe something to do with iterators.

Both slicing and "[list,]" arguments can be easily performed using a 
comprehension.

I have no idea what calling it with a callable or bitmask is intended to 
do, or why they would be useful, but bitmasks are usually ints, so how 
would it distinguish between the item at index 3 and the item with 
bitmask 3?

Is there a use-case for retrieving the insertion position of a key, or 
are we just adding it because we can?
