[New-bugs-announce] [issue20299] Argument Clinic CConverter.__init__() overrides c_default and py_default

[Ryan Smith-Roberts]

New submission from Ryan Smith-Roberts:

The docs indicate that you can do:

class foo_converter(CConverter):
    ...
    c_default = 'bar()'
    py_default = 'Bar'

except that CConverter.__init__() unconditionally overwrites these values. Patch attached.
