I think this could be done more simply as

    def __getitem__(self, index, **kwds):
        self.real_getitem(*index, **kwds)

    def real_getitem(self, x, y):
        ...

The point about obscuring the signature still remains, though.

Also, this is a hack that we would never be able to get rid of,
whereas new dunders would provide a path to cleaning things up
in the future.
