[issue20144] Argument Clinic doesn't support named constants as default values

[Larry Hastings]

Larry Hastings added the comment:

Here's the problem.  Let's say I gave you a way of specifying a symbolic constant for the default value for C.  What value should we use for the default value in Python?  Keep in mind, it has to be expressed as a static value that can be stored as a string as part of the __text_signature__ at the front of the docstring.

If you can answer that question, we can solve the problem.
