22193	Make hints truly optional when defining system check messages	Russell Keith-Magee	nobody	"Via discussion on [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/django-developers/GeAWvy_V0sQ/09DFkcNTJ3wJ django-developers]:

The documentation currently describes the `hint` argument on `check.Error()` et al by saying that you have to provide the hint argument as a keyword argument. However, hints are strictly optional, and requiring the keyword argument isn't entirely pythonic. 

The documentation should be cleaned up to remove the bad Python hint, and the code should be modified to make hint truly optional."	Cleanup/optimization	closed	Core (System checks)	1.7-alpha-1	Normal	fixed			Accepted	0	0	0	0	0	0
