Summary: PyObject_CallMethod docs unclear (with dangerous results)

Initial Comment:
PyObject_CallMethod doesn't make clear that passing a
tuple of args is the correct way to use it. While it
does work when you don't pass a tuple, this causes
memory leak - the objects passed in get extra incref,
AFAICT, so it's worth emphasizing the correct API.
