…ments This adds a `@` glyph to the PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords that specifies that subsequent arguments are required keyword-only arguments. It must appear after `|` and `$`, and allows functions to take all four combinations of positional/named-only v. required/optional arguments. The restriction that `@` only appear after `|` and `$` have already appeared is because it substantially simplifies the state machine and because `$` already only works properly when `|` is specified (though this is not *checked*).

@serhiy-storchaka: Would you mind to review this PR? |
|
I want to try other options first. |
|
I'm working on trying out some of the other options that Serhiy suggested, but have been busy |

I can come back to this if there's any interest, but it wasn't clear to me that anybody wanted this but me |
This adds a

The restriction that
@only appear after|and$have alreadyappeared is because it substantially simplifies the state machine and
