$ ./python -m timeit "format('abc')"
Unpatched: 5000000 loops, best of 5: 65 nsec per loop
Patched: 5000000 loops, best of 5: 42.4 nsec per loop
-23 ns on 65 ns: this is very significant! I spent like 6 months to implement
"FASTCALL" to avoid a single tuple to pass positional arguments and it was only
20 ns faster per call. Additional 23 ns make the code way faster compared than
Python without FASTCALL! I estimate something like 80 ns => 42 ns: 2x faster!
$ ./python -m timeit "'abc'.replace('x', 'y')"
Unpatched: 5000000 loops, best of 5: 101 nsec per loop
Patched: 5000000 loops, best of 5: 63.8 nsec per loop
-38 ns on 101 ns: that's even more significant! Wow, that's very impressive!
Please merge your PR, I want it now :-D
Can you maybe add a vague sentence in the Optimizations section of What's New
in Python 3.8 ? Something like: "Parsing positional arguments in builtin
functions has been made more efficient."? I'm not sure if "builtin" is the
proper term here. Functions using Argument Clinic to parse their arguments?
