Description
It struck me that FFI definitions of variadic functions like PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords could be implemented with the nightly feature - this would probably be a good way to help the c_variadic feature gain feedback upstream.

Research direction
Start by reading the linked Python documentation for PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords and the Rust c_variadic tracking issue. Determine how PyO3's FFI definitions should expose C-variadic functions behind the nightly feature, with completed work providing those definitions and useful upstream feedback.
