[issue2516] Instance methods are misreporting the number of arguments

[Alexander Belopolsky]

Here is a similar issue which may be easier to fix:


>>> def f(a, b=None, *, c=None, d=None):
...    pass


>>> f(1,2,3)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: f() takes at most 4 arguments (3 given)


Should be "f() takes at most 2 positional arguments (3 given)"
