New submission from Antony Lee <anntzer....@gmail.com>: At https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/arg.html#numbers, it is explicitly documented that the unsigned number convertors do not perform overflow checking. Implicitly, this suggests that the signed convertors *do* perform overflow checking, which they indeed do; but it would be nice to document this behavior explicitly (as overflow checking is not always expected of C-level functions).
