Research direction

Start with the existing unrecognized-argument test in tests/test_traitlets.py, then inspect the related handling in traitlets/traitlets.py and the Configurable definition in traitlets/config/configurable.py. Confirm the behavior for direct HasTraits subclasses and make the corresponding Configurable case warn on unrecognized arguments, with regression coverage showing the warning.
