The only approach to retroactive generification that I approve of is replacing the entire object with a wrapper of sorts, e.g.

foo = generify(foo)

Which (again, just to clarify) means that you would require that generic functions be introduced by a decorator?

@generic
def foo():
    pass

(your explicit equivalent would be for "after the fact" conversion to a generic).
