Exactly, which is why I'm not asking for signature to be immutable. Who knows, despite Larry's skepticism (and mine!), perhaps there is a use-case for signature being modified that we haven't thought of yet. But that's not really the point. It may be that nobody will be stupid enough to mangle signature, and inspect.getfullargspec becomes redundant. I've presented use cases for doing this already. Please stop calling me stupid.

I'm sorry Nick, I missed your email and my choice of words was poor. Please accept my apologies.
