[issue31129] RawConfigParser.items() is unusual in taking arguments

[Guido van Rossum]

Guido van Rossum added the comment:

I think the proposed change is not worth it. Developments in type checking (in particular overloading) make it unambiguous what the return type will be from just a static inspection of the call site. (Given that the _UNSET value is intended to be private.) See also https://github.com/python/mypy/issues/3805#issuecomment-320561797
