By my estimate, there are about six hundred places that could be converted to work with Argument Clinic in CPython; as of this writing only a dozen or two have actually been converted. Do you remember which? I suggest builtin classes and functions as priorities.

I don't, but they're easy to find with UNIX shell tools:

     fgrep -l clinic */*.c

I will try to speed up my timetable for converting Idle calltips to using inspect.signature instead of the older functions. Does help (pydoc) already do so?

Yes.
