New submission from Sergey Fedoseev <fedoseev.ser...@gmail.com>:
Argument Clinic generates `{NULL, NULL}` initializer for Py_buffer variables.
Such initializer zeroes all Py_buffer members, but as I understand only `obj`
and `buf` members are really had to be initialized. Avoiding unneeded
initialization provides tiny speed-up:
$ python -m perf timeit -s "replace = b''.replace" "replace(b'', b'')"
--compare-to=../cpython-master/venv/bin/python --duplicate=1000
