Research direction

No file or test path is named; begin by locating the signature-comparison tests in the suite and reproduce the positional-only mismatch described here. Done means a spec using x, y, / accepts an implementation using a, b, / while still checking the positional-only structure.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

bug medium priority

Currently the suite fails when signatures use different arg names then whats in the spec for pos-only args, even though it shouldn't really matter.

For example, testing a function with the following signature

def f(x, y, /):
    ...

should pass an implementation of f(a, b, /).

Thanks @Micky774 for catching this!
