Add support for automatic permutation of the args of a candidate #8

Open alexamici opened 8 years ago

alexamici commented 8 years ago

The signature of a function is an implementation detail and it would be nice it the candidate object could try different kind of permutations of args so that it can discover a matching callable independently if the detail of the signature.

For example:

[ ] candidate(*args) could test [object(*perm) for perm in itertools.permutations(args)].
[ ] Extend the above to use values in args for kwargs above len(args).
