After Neal's changes to PyArg_ParseTuple, will Tim still
be able to use a floating argument to the wink() function
which has only been documented to accept a boolean state?

Alternatively, will the wink() implementation accept a
FixedPoint object so that ten <0.1 winks> will reliably
sum exactly to a full wink?

On comp.lang.py, the currently leading proposal is to
tighten the semantics to boolean but to support
backward compatibility for partial winks through
an explictly named function:  blink().
