-        If this test failed, you probably added a new "format unit"
-        in Python/getargs.c, but neglected to update our poor friend
-        skipitem() in the same file.  (If so, shame on you!)
-
-        With a few exceptions**, this function brute-force tests all
-        printable ASCII*** characters (32 to 126 inclusive) as format units,
-        checking to see that PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords() return consistent
-        errors both when the unit is attempted to be used and when it is
-        skipped.  If the format unit doesn't exist, we'll get one of two
-        specific error messages (one for used, one for skipped); if it does
-        exist we *won't* get that error--we'll get either no error or some
-        other error.  If we get the specific "does not exist" error for one
-        test and not for the other, there's a mismatch, and the test fails.
-
-           ** Some format units have special funny semantics and it would
-              be difficult to accommodate them here.  Since these are all
-              well-established and properly skipped in skipitem() we can
-              get away with not testing them--this test is really intended
-              to catch *new* format units.
-
-          *** Python C source files must be ASCII.  Therefore it's impossible
-              to have non-ASCII format units.
