   ``argc`` is the number of arguments as described in :opcode:`CALL`.

    Pushes a ``NULL`` to the stack.

   Stores a reference to ``co_consts[consti]`` into an internal variable
   for use by :opcode:`CALL`. ``co_consts[consti]`` must be a tuple of strings.

 The PRECALL instruction has been removed. It offered only a small advantage
 for specialization and is not needed in the vast majority of cases.
