Comment (by SimonKing):

 Replying to [comment:8 jdemeyer]:
 > The two statements below seem like a contraction: using the example
 above, if you want to ensure that `obj.f()` and `obj.f(1)` and
 `obj.f(arg=1)` use the same cache entry, you do need to know the names and
 defaults of the arguments.

 For ''calling'' the function, you of course need it (so, I admit that the
 title of this ticket is misleading). However, for determining whether it
 ought to be a `CachedMethodCaller` or a `CachedMethodCallerNoArgs`, it
 suffices to know a little less.

 And thank you for the link to `PyCFunction_GetFlags`. So, it seems that
 `sage.misc.sageinspect` should get a little addition
 `sage.misc.sage_inspect_cython` written in Cython that provides helpers
 for inspection of Cython methods.
