Research direction
Start at the EntryPoint definition and inspect its current construction and mutation behavior. Use the proposed final properties, keyword-only construction, and positional-argument deprecation as acceptance criteria; done requires the interface behavior and deprecation policy to be settled and verified.

Description
I've also observed that the issue affects
.moduleand.attrand.load. I'm trying to decide what's the best behavior here. I think it should fail early, at construction time, but right now, the interface is open to mutation of the entry point properties. Probably those should be madefinal.

Additionally, EntryPoint could probably subclass SimpleNamespace except that EntryPoint currently allows for positional arguments. Let's deprecate that behavior and require keyword arguments.
