+            [Python] #1595 Python -builtin constructors silently ignored keyword arguments.
+            Instead of silenty ignoring them, now a "TypeError: f() takes no keyword arguments"
+            exception is thrown if keyword arguments are used. Hence constructors and normal methods/
+            functions behave in the same way. Note, -keyword should be used with -builtin to obtain
+            keyword argument support.

- * Need to be very careful about how these macros are defined, especially

+ * Note: In case of C (not C++) the macros are transparent even before
+ * Ruby 2.7 due to the fact that the Ruby C API used function declarators
+ * with empty parentheses, which allows for an unspecified number of
+ * arguments.
  *
- * VOIDFUNC(f) is a macro used to typecast a C function that implements
- * either the "mark" or "free" stuff for a Ruby Data object, so that it
