"Argument Clinic" is the name of the tool.  The marker /*[clinic]*/
was chosen deliberately:

* If someone says "what the hell is this" a quick online search
  should turn up the answer quickly.

* It differentiates it from /*[python]*/, which allows one to embed
  raw Python code inside files.  ("print" is redirected to the output
  section.)
