See python.org/sf/1683368. I'd like to invite opinions on whether it's worth breaking an unknown amount of user code in 2.6 for the sake of stricter argument checking for object.init

Personally I have never written code that relies on being able to pass arbitrary args to object.init and don't ever intend to, so this wouldn't bother me.
