I have now received exactly zero feedback about the prototype, which

Oops, I had half a post written about this two days ago, but never got
it posted.
I did some experimenting on winreg.c (see
http://hg.python.org/sandbox/zware/file/prototype_clinic/PC/winreg.c),
and I have to say I really really like having most of the output
shunted down to the bottom of the file.
I will consider you a +1 on the "buffer" approach and NaN on the other
approaches.
One thing that I could see being useful (though possibly not easy) is
the ability to dump a buffer "late"; for example, near the top of the
file:
/*[clinic input]
destination prototypes new buffer
output parser_prototype prototypes
dump prototypes later
[clinic start generated code]*/
Then process the file, filling the prototypes buffer as we go. At the
end of the file, go back and dump the buffer in that output block.
That wouldn't be too hard. But conceptually it would make Clinic much
more complicated. For example, I suggest that "later" is a confusing
name, because the output will actually happen *earlier* in the file.
