Well, here is a feedback about lost functionality. inspect.getcallargs had a very nice property that it automatically bound the first argument to the instance of bound methods. It seems I have no general way to do it with Signature.bind. Of course I can put

    arguments['self'] = method.__self__

afterwards, but theoretically, the argument doesn't have to be called 'self'. And anyway, I would like something that works seamlessly with bound methods and ordinary functions.
