I'm not sure that it's worth it. It seems complex to implement.

I proposed something simpler, but nobody tried to implement it.
Instead of calling the long and complex PyArg_Parse...() functions,
why not generating C code to parse arguments instead? The idea looks
like "inlining" PyArg_Parse...() in its caller, but technically it
means that Argument Clinic generates C code to parse arguments.

PyArg_Parse...() is cheap and has been optimized, but on very fast
functions (less than 100 ns), it might be significant. Well, to be
sure, someone should run a benchmark :-)
