In theory Argument Clinic could use any syntax it likes.  In practice, 
under the covers we tease out one or two bits of non-Python syntax, then 
run ast.parse over it.  Saved us a lot of work.

"s: accept={str,NoneType}" is a legal Python parameter declaration; "s: 
accept+={NoneType}" is not.  If I could figure out a clean way to hack 
in support for += I'll support it.  Otherwise you'll be forced to spell 
it out.
