New submission from Tal Einat:

It would be useful for conversion of existing function to be able to set the 
name of the C variable for arguments which is different than the Python 
argument name.

For example, not being able to do so makes converting bytes.translate much 
harder. In the existing code, the first argument is called 'table' in the docs 
but 'tableobj' in the code. Furthermore, a different variable named 'table' is 
used rather extensively in the function. If clinic could be told to name the C 
variable 'tableobj', then that would be that. Otherwise renaming two variables 
in the code is unaviodable.
