Python inner function parameter shadowed

[Brendan Abel]

This looks like a decorator function that optionally accepts arguments to
change the behavior.

You can safely ignore the warning form PyCharm.  the variable won't be
shadowed it's included in the function signature of the inner function.

A lot of times, the outside decorator will just use the *args or **kwargs
parameters and check whether the first arg is callable or not and if any
keywords have been passed in to decide which version of the wrapped
function to return
