Cripes, I screwed up the __key_or_index_translator__ docstring. See
correction below, sorry.
-------------------
def __key_or_index_translator__(self, pos1, pos2, *, x) ->
Tuple[Tuple[Any], Dict[str, Any]]:
"""I only allow subscripting like this:
>>> obj[1, 2, x=2]
"""
return (pos1, pos2), dict(x=x)
