Description
The Argument Clinic howto starts with six paragraphs about the goals of Argument Clinic, mostly repeating the motivation and rationale of PEP-436. Here's a quick run-through of the paragraphs:
- AC should take over arg parsing in CPython.
- Hand-written arg parsing code is a chore; AC must be easy to use.
- AC must generate correct and hopefully fast code; also an outdated section about the possibility of generating tailor made code for various cases.
- AC should support all of CPython's "strange parsing behaviours".
- AC should provide introspection signatures for builtins.
- The last paragraph repeats information present in the tutorial.
Suggesting to remove the whole "The goals of Argument Clinic", and instead provide a short summary (one or two sentences) and link to PEP-436.
