The varargs and varkwargs definitions are a little weird. Why use the empty string instead of None when they aren't used in the signature?

I think because when it was designed there was discussions going on about not having different behavior based on types or something.

Also, the post-history is blank; perhaps this still needs to be presented to the community for review and discussion? Or perhaps the field in the PEP needs to be filled in.

The open issues were brought up on python-dev but they were never resolved.
