You might be able to annotate it accurately with generics, ParamSpec and Concatenate[1].

High praise :-) I'm glad you like it! I don't know much about static checks / param hinting. TBH, I coded this up because I wanted to imagine how functions should work in Python as more of a fun exercise.
Accordingly there are a lot of things I have to do to make better_partial a strong tool for the community. I'll probably have time to work on the project again later in the week.
In practice i worry about static checkers and IDE param hints though, how have you fared with these?
