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?
