I think this is a requirement of IDLE.

Then what about this issue? Legalize the current invalid behavior in the tests?
I think that the tests should check the valid behavior and if tests failed then
the behavior should be corrected, not tests should be faked.

This is a reasonable proposal. Let's discuss it.
The objection is that there are such signatures:
foo(a, b, c,
e, f, g) -> some result

There is no difference for me what issue it will be, but if it will be a
different issue, then I do not see any sense in this issue.
