+   Call a method using the vectorcall calling convention. The name of the method
+   is given as Python string *name*. The object whose method is called is
+   *args[0]* and the *args* array starting at *args[1]* represents the arguments
+   of the call. There must be at least one positional argument.
+   *nargsf* is the number of positional arguments including *args[0]*,
+   plus :const:`PY_VECTORCALL_ARGUMENTS_OFFSET` if the value of ``args[0]`` may
+   temporarily be changed. Keyword arguments can be passed just like in
+   :c:func:`_PyObject_Vectorcall`.
+
+   If the object has the :const:`Py_TPFLAGS_METHOD_DESCRIPTOR` feature,
+   this will actually call the unbound method object with the full
+   *args* vector as arguments.
