Callable instances now return a call tip. Good!
I agree with your analysis of the issue raised by Stephen. The get_argspec
function will not fail unexpectedly.

I get "L.append(object) -> None -- append object to end" as the call tip on
Linux. I'm not sure why it didn't work on Win 7. Could an unintentional enter
key-press be the culprit?

I agree that if the argspec string has no contents after all the code in
get_argspec, then it should have a message added. Perhaps the following would
be sufficient:
if hasattr(ob, '__call__'):
[truncated]
if not argspec:
argspec += "Arguments unknown. See docs."
return argspec
