A Signature object represents the call signature of a function and its return A Signature object represents the call signature of a function and its return
annotation. For each parameter accepted by the function it stores a annotation. For each parameter accepted by the function it stores a

The optional *parameters* argument is a sequence of :class:`Parameter`
objects, which is validated to check that there are no parameters with
duplicate names, and that the parameters are in the right order, i.e.
positional-only first, then positional-or-keyword, and that parameters with
defaults follow parameters without defaults.
The optional *return_annotation* argument, can be an arbitrary Python object,
