We have quite a large amount of C functions with positional-only parameters. Adding a "/" to each of those is a) a tedious task and b) probably not helpful for a lot of people:
I volunteer to ensure that the "/"s are added if this PEP is accepted. (I expect I'd do it myself, but who knows, maybe a volunteer would appear out of the woodwork.)
... and the "undefined" singleton just smells wrong. Another way to spell "None" is just asking for trouble.
It has to be a different value from "None", for the same reasons that all those other different-spellings-for-None (e.g. inspect.Parameter.empty) exist.
I realize you are -1 on the proposal in general, but I'd be very interested if you could propose an alternate approach where I didn't need "a new spelling for None" as you put it.
