So using the signature will be OK for 'Foo.bar' and 'Foo().bar', but not for 'Foo.dict['bar']' - which I think is fine (since staticmethod & classmethod instances are not callable)

There has been some talk on Python-ideas about making staticmethod and classmethod instances callable.

Speaking of non-instance method descriptors, please excuse this silly question, I haven't quite understood the implementation well enough to answer this question myself. Is there anything needed to make signature() work correctly with custom method-like descriptors such as this?
