This is a known, generic issue with c-coded functions. Some C functions have been converted, especially those with boolean parameters, and especially those with multiple boolean parameters. I think, but an not sure, that / is sometimes used to signal that the preceding are position only, and that this may have something to do with ArgumentClinic. I also would like a consistent indication. But this may be a duplicate issue.
