I am for having a way to succintly properly describe the signature of C in the manual and docstrings and help output. As it is now, the only safe thing to do, without trial and exception, is to assume positional only unless one knows otherwise.
But the syntax should only be as complicated as needed for 'most' C functions. If there are a few complicated oddballs, perhaps they could be simplified, or given a special-case explanation.
