It is a fairly common pattern that "passing positional arguments [argument
names] to [something] is deprecated in favor of keyword-only arguments".
See #34355, #35060 and #36163 for some examples.
As this is common, it would be useful to have a utility to help do this
correctly (see #35554 for an issue we have had with this deprecation
pathway previously).
It would also be nice to have this utility documented within the
deprecation section in the contributing docs:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.2/internals/contributing/writing-code
/submitting-patches/#deprecating-a-feature
https://github.com/django/django/pull/19145 implements a decorator to do
this
