The term "position" ("pos") seems a little ambiguous to me on the face
of it. Does (code => 'u', pos => 0) mean "the first subfield u" (which
is what I take it to mean) or "subfield u if it's the first subfield"
(which it might sound like outside the context of this discussion)?
I had the same thought. To me, 'occur' has a clearer meaning in
that context, "the zeroth occurrence of subfield 'u'", while 'pos' has
more of the ambiguity described above. So of the two, I'd prefer
'occur', but I can live with 'pos'. Synonyms perhaps? (Unless someone
has a need to delete the third subfield regardless of code? I never
have, so perhaps not.)
