Just a super quick test: "what are 3 obscure but useful features in python functools. Link to doc for each."

GPT 4o gave good links with each example.

(its choices were functools.singledispatch, functools.total_ordering, functools.cached_property)

Not sure about local code links.

This is one area where MCPs might actually be useful, https://context7.com/ being one of them. I haven't given it enough of a shot yet, though.
