With respect to this bug (which is about stack issues in Python/getargs.c
involving misuse of the "levels" array), I think that we can drop the
"levels" thing completely. It's only there to tell the user which exact item
passed as part of a tuple argument cannot be accepted (and only if that
function is implemented in C code). As tuple arguments
are very rare "argument x" should be enough to tell the user that
something's wrong with that tuple.
