New submission from Erik Welch <erik.n.we...@gmail.com>:
The new builtin `anext` does not have a signature (from `inspect.signature(anext)`). This is expected, because `inspect` does not yet support signatures with C NULL default value. However, `anext` also doesn't have text in its docstring that describes its signature as is typical for builtins. This means `help(anext)` in the Python REPL gives no indication how to call the function. It should. This is clearly an oversight. See comment here: https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/23847#commitcomment-45318696 Also, the "default" argument is not described in the docstring.
