If I understand you correctly, you seem to be trying to apply "isimplemented" to the problem of predicting which specific inputs to a parameter would be valid.  I don't think that problem is tractable--it's way too context-specific.

Exactly! It's too context sensitive to belong on a generic signature object. Without is_implemented, all the properties of the signature object should only change if you alter the parameter list. How a parameter is dealt with in the function should not affect the signature of a function.
