Opening a PR for this because it is the easiest way to see if the added test still fails with latest sparta without creating an updated env locally.

I would expect that pevent.collect() should throw if called positional arguments that are:

  • unexpected (i.e. the pevent wasn't defined to take any positional args)
  • mismatching type (as it looks like compilation doesn't catch this) - didn't commit the test I added for this in this commit
  • what other sanity checking is feasible?

The test added in this PR shows that we can call collect() with positional args for events that haven't registered any positional args. Why?

As it is, code in the wild has become quite confusing where positional args are being passed to collect() and silently ignored. I'm looking at how to propose improving this part of sparta but I wanted to start a discussion but first create a PR that will demonstrate that this behavior isn't considered a throwable conidtion in latest sparta.
