I was just wondering that with so much effort to bring typing to the
mainstream, a more "pythonic" DSL may emerge for describing the signatures
of functions in C modules.

BTW, is there any document describing the syntax of "text signatures" such
as:

>>> os.rename.__text_signature__
'($module, /, src, dst, *, src_dir_fd=None, dst_dir_fd=None)'

?

What does the "$module, /," part mean?
