New submission from Larry Hastings:
As per Georg's request (and hacks in other places), Argument Clinic should have
support for special methods. To wit:
__init__ should be required to be an instance method. Clinic should suppress
its methoddef #define.
__new__ should be required to be a class method. Its C function name should
have the __new__ stripped off, and by convention its first argument should be
"PyTypeObject *type". Clinic should suppress its methoddef #define.
All other dunder-methods which have special slots in the PyTypeObject structure
should be rejected by Argument Clinic. (Their arguments are pre-parsed, and
they don't have docstrings... what would Clinic do for them?) Obviously
generic dunder-methods ("__getstate__", "__sizeof__") are still fine.
