Actually, it appears we don't need those special checks (for classmethod
and staticmethod) at all.
class Foo:
@staticmethod
def bar(): pass
>>> Foo.bar
<function bar ...>
>>> Foo().bar
<function bar ...>
>>> Foo.__dict__['bar']
<staticmethod ...>
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)
I'll just remove checks for static- and class-methods from the
PEP signature() algorithm section.
