I'm having a hard time seeing it.  Can you propose a credible situation 
where

  * some programmer would have a reason (even a bad reason) to modify
    the cached Signature for a function,
  * as a result it would no longer correctly match the corresponding
    function,
  * you would be forced to interact with this code and the modified
    Signature, and
  * it would cause you problems?

If you can, what adjustment would you make to the PEP to ameliorate this 
situation?

And, as Brett cites, the consenting adults rule applies here.


All of a sudden I'm thinking of "Olsen's Standard Book Of British Birds",
