+                     between `dict.func` (auto_rebind=True) and 
+                     `function(dict.func,dict)` (auto_rebind=False). This 
+                     attribute makes no sense if `self` attribute is `None`.
+
+    Constructor additionally accepts `args`, `self` and `auto_rebind` 
+    keywords.  If `args` and/or `self` argument is given then it constructs 
+    a partial, see |function()|.  `auto_rebind` is only used when `self` 
+    argument is given, otherwise it is assumed to be `True` regardless of 
+    whether it was given or not.  If `self` is given then it defaults to 
+    `False`.
