I wonder why you need to figure out the signatures in advance. Can you just wait until the function is actually used, and then process the parameters as you get them?

My guess is that Michael's design lets mock objects be introspected as well, i.e. they don't appear as magical as they really are to the user code.

This is also true. Doing it up front has some conveniences - for example dir(...) works correctly.
