The docs for `mock.call` could get improved:

https://docs.python.org/3/library/unittest.mock.html#call

Up to now it is not clear how to access individual members of the call.

Example: I want to check if the call used the kwarg "foo" with the value of "bar".

Usually you don't need this, since you check for the whole call (all args and all kwargs).

But sometimes you jus twant to check for a single arg/kwarg.

Then it would be nice to have more detailed docs for the class "call".

BTW: Why has this class a lower-case name? Looks a bit strange.

> A call object is either a tuple of (positional args, keyword args) or (name, positional args, keyword args) depending on how it was constructed

https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/11807 added support for args and kwargs from python 3.9. So I guess you want to do call_object.kwargs["foo"] == "bar"
