[New-bugs-announce] [issue39741] Argument Clinic name conflict

[Batuhan Taskaya]

New submission from Batuhan Taskaya <batuhanosmantaskaya at gmail.com>:

Argument clinic uses some extra variables (like args, or noptargs, nargs etc.) for parsing. But there is a catch about these names, the generated code becomes wrong if there are any usages of them inside the signature. Encountered with this problem while working on *args support (in issue 20291). 

The possible solution is prefixing every argument in the parser with __clinic_ (__clinic_{var}) for preventing any kind of conflict. I'll draft a PR for this issue.
