PEP 436: Argument Clinic
------------------------
"Argument Clinic" (:pep:`436`) is now part of the CPython build process
and can be used to simplify the process of defining and maintaining
accurate signatures for builtins and standard library extension modules
implemented in C.

The Argument Clinic PEP is not fully up to date with the state of the
implementation. This has been deemed acceptable by the release manager
