The 3.x versions of idlelib.CallTips.get_argspec() uses
inspect.formatargspec(*inspect.getfullargspec(fob))
to create the first line of a calltip for Python coded callables
(functions and (bound) instance methods, including class(.__init__),
static and class methods and (with pending patch) instance(.__call__)).
Any new class would have to have a identical formatter to replace this.
I do not quite see the point of deprecating these functions. It seems to
that a new presentation object should build on top of the existing
getfullargspec, when it is requested.
I agree with Stephen that building the seldom-needed redundant
representation upon creation of every function object is a bad idea.
