If mappingproxies cannot be made picklable, perhaps signatures can
implement __getnewargs__ to allow pickling?

Good catch. I think we'll make Signatures picklable in 3.5
(http://bugs.python.org/issue20726)  It can be implemented
using __reduce__ and __setstate__ methods. We can't use
__getnewargs__ as we have keyword-only arguments in
Parameter and Signature classes (but maybe we'll be able
to use __getnewargs_ex__ in 3.5)

Do you have any other reasons to make mappingproxies
picklable?
