New submission from Samwyse: The help(obj) function uses the type of obj to create its result. This is less than helpful when requesting help on a wrapped object. Since 3.5, inspect.signature() and inspect.from_callable() have a follow_wrapped option to get around similar issues. Adding the option to help() would prevent surprising behavior while still allowing current behavior to be used when needed. See http://stackoverflow.com/a/17705456/603136 for more.
