[issue12844] Support more than 255 arguments

I don't think that patch works. Consider a dict subclass which has overridden update. Or perhaps a list subclass which has overridden addition. It would be quite poor if Python's behavior here w.r.t. which overrides are followed switched as you added more arguments.
