I guess we should ask Guido for clarification.  But I got the impression that we could *gently* tweak the signatures of functions if they were not representable in Python syntax.  He thought that giving the parameter of _sha1.sha1() a default value of b'' was fine for example, and in the case of itertools.repeat he considered the behavior so odd he was guessing it was a bug.
