Now that I look at uses of PyArg_UnpackTuple, I'm wondering whether this needs to be fixed at all.  Apart from `max` and `min`, do you know of any other cases where this gives a misleading error message?

Almost all the uses I can find are for simple functions/methods where all arguments are positional-only.  (Ex:  range, pow, slice, dict.pop).

max and min *do* clearly need an error message fix.

(Apologies: I know it was me who suggested that PyArg_UnpackTuple needed fixing in the first place.  But now I'm not sure that's true.)
