 Calls are made through a function pointer taking the following parameters:
 
 * ``PyObject *callable``: The called object
-* ``Py_ssize_t n``: The number of arguments plus the optional flag ``PY_VECTORCALL_ARGUMENTS_OFFSET`` (see below)
 * ``PyObject *const *args``: A vector of arguments
-* ``PyTupleObject *kwnames``: A tuple of the names of the named arguments.
+* ``Py_ssize_t nargs``: The number of arguments plus the optional flag ``PY_VECTORCALL_ARGUMENTS_OFFSET`` (see below)
+* ``PyObject *kwnames``: Either ``NULL`` or a tuple with the names of the keyword arguments
 
 This is implemented by the function pointer type:
-``typedef PyObject *(*vectorcallfunc)(PyObject *callable, Py_ssize_t n, PyObject *const *args, PyObject *kwnames);``
+``typedef PyObject *(*vectorcallfunc)(PyObject *callable, PyObject *const *args, Py_ssize_t nargs, PyObject *kwnames);``

+The call takes the form ``((vectorcallfunc)(((char *)o)+offset))(o, args, n, kwnames)`` where
 ``offset`` is ``Py_TYPE(o)->tp_vectorcall_offset``.
 The caller is responsible for creating the ``kwnames`` tuple and ensuring that there are no duplicates in it.
