I've posted this to the PR, but adding it here as well: I think this
is a situation very similar to the case with functools.partialmethod,
where you're going to need to write a separate
functools.singledispatchmethod class that's aware of the descriptor
protocol, rather than trying to add the functionality directly to
functools.singledispatch.

Cheers,
Nick.
