However, the intent is very clear: we only want to standardize x. The current way to do this is via an include list which is given as an explicit keyword argument:
a.standardize(include="x")
However, this seems a little bit ugly. We could allow users to pass this as a positional argument as well. So long as none of the keyword-only arguments are defined, we default to turning the positional argument into the include list.
