[New-bugs-announce] [issue37540] vectorcall: keyword names must be strings

[Jeroen Demeyer]

New submission from Jeroen Demeyer <J.Demeyer at UGent.be>:

Keyword names in calls are expected to be strings, however it's currently not clear who should enforce/check this.

I suggest to fix this for vectorcall/METH_FASTCALL and specify that it's the caller's job to make sure that keyword names are strings (str subclasses are allowed).
