Yes. In fact, you probably won't need to worry about positional
arguments at all. They only really work when they are destined for the
leaf class that you are calling. The reason that I handle them in
BuildStep.__new__ is to preserve that behavior, but that is an
implementation detail, that users don't need to worry about.
