Can Argument Clinic be simplified when drop support for all alternative outputs besides a side file?

Why this is needed? If buildin function has "args" or "kwargs" keyword arguments, C variables can be renamed to args_value and kwargs_value, as for any reserved keywords (e.g. "default", "int"). Other changes look very good, but these are just add code churn.
