My only objection (which is a minor one) is with the 'NOARGS_NULL' name.
Caps don't fit the normal style rules, and 'noargs_null' doesn't make much
sense to me. 'unused' strikes me as a clearer name (or 'noargs_unused' or
'args_unused' or such.) It should be fine to fix this in 2.5 as well (as
long as arguments previously ignored don't suddenly raise exceptions, but it
doesn't sound like that's happening at all.)
