Description
I don't think there's anything actionable for mypy here in any case.
functools.partial
was recently special-cased, is there any appetite to do the same forlru_cache
, given it's comparably widespread usage?

In the above issue it was described how Mypy's support for lru_cache, which depends on typeshed, can only support enforcement of parameter hashability and the available methods on the LRU cache wrapper like cache_clear
.
It can verify positional argument types, but it does not support verifying the number of arguments, or keyword arguments. Here is an example:
https://mypy-play.net/?mypy=latest&python=3.12&flags=strict&gist=5a93906d553a71d7920aafb250f2773f
This is a significant limitation, for what I would say is a very commonly-used standard library function.
In #16939 special support was added for functools.partial
for comparable limitations in the typeshed definition. Can the same be done for functools.lru_cache
?
