+now use the :func:`~inspect.signature` API. This allows them to
+support much broader range of functions, including some builtins and
+callables that follow ``__signature__`` protocol. It is still
+recommended to update your code to use :func:`~inspect.signature`
+directly. (Contributed by Yury Selivanov in :issue:`17481`)
