Good news ;) OK, I'll decorate the test.

So what's going on and why is it broken:
- from_builtin wasn't checking the incoming 'func' argument's type, it started
to work with its '__text_signature__' right away. That was fixed.
- in 'inspect.signature' we checked
(isinstance(obj, _NonUserDefinedCallables) or ismethoddescriptor(obj) or
isinstance(obj, type))
so *classes* were tried in 'from_builtin' too.
And that's why it worked. Any class (even used-defined in pure Python) that
had '__text_signature__' was passed to the 'Signature.from_builtin' and it did
the right job.
Now, I don't want to completely rollback my commits, as I still think that
'from_builtin' should strictly check what object is it working with, and raise
appropriate exceptions. What we need to do is to separate parsing of
'__text_signature__' into a private inspect module helper, so that
'from_builtin' becomes a tiny wrapper. Then, in 'signature.inspect' we need to
find a way of testing if the given object is a builtin class, and call the
parsing helper on it if it has the '__text_signature__' attribute.
I'm looking into this.
BTW, are you sure we can't somehow add '__text_signature__' to builtin class'
'__init__'?
