Research direction
Start with Modules/_interpretersmodule.c and review how its PyArg_ParseTuple and PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords calls are handled. Compare nearby Argument Clinic conversions, then convert the module's argument parsing and verify the generated code and relevant interpreter tests; linked PRs show that work is already underway.
