2. Signature.bind introduces the ability to split the "bind arguments to parameters" operation from the "call object" operation Has anybody considered calling bind call? That is, the result of calling the signature of a procedure instead of the procedure itself is the locals() dictionary the procedure would start with (except presumably missing non-parameter local variables).

I'd stick with more explicit 'bind' method.

Compare (given the 'sig = signature(func)'):

ba = sig(*args, **kwargs)

to:

ba = sig.bind(*args, **kwargs)

The second case looks more clear to me.

Thanks,

Yury
