This is a long standing confusion.  At one point, the documentation
said what you said, and it was just as wrong.  There were even
inaccurate PyNoArgsCFunction typedefs in some header!

I think Python in a Nutshell is wrong here too.

I've been fixing these when I find them, slowly.

Fortunately (and obviously, given the lack of bug reports) it won't
make any difference with any ABI I know about.
