Raymond Hettinger added the comment:

The 3.3 version has the virtue of being accurate and the vice of being 
confusing.  In a way, it has made the docs worse for the average user of common 
cases.

Is there a way to stack the alternative signatures rather than mush the various 
used into a single pile of mush?

    int(x=0) --> integer coercion
    int(str, base=10) --> integer converted from string in a given base
