ithout those values. This makes comparisons less verbose:: _Call(('name', (), {})) == ('name',) _Call(('name', (1,), {})) == ('name', (1,)) _Call(((), {'a': 'b'})) == ({'a': 'b'},) The `_Call` object provides a useful shortcut for comparing with call:: _Call(((1, 2), {'a': 3})) == call(1, 2, a=3) _Call(('foo', (1, 2), {'a': 3})) == call.foo(1, 2, a=3) If the _Call has no name then it will match any name.
