A) pydoc and help() should not show bound parameters in the signature, like inspect.signature.
-1 from me. The problem is this will make help(c.foo) inconsistent with help(c) and help(C), and is bound to confuse newcomers.
Speaking of which, I think asking for votes before all arguments have been made is counter-productive.
