%%%This small patch exposes Blender's internal FCurve update functions (specifically sort_time_fcurve and testhandles_fcurve) to Python scripts through a new "update" method on bpy.Types.FCurve.

Triggering the update functions previously required running a curve operator of some sort, all of which check the context for UI state. Setting up and then reverting the UI state was a pain when Blender was running with UI and impossible when it was running in background mode.

This patch mainly helps import scripts.%%%

I ended up reimplementing a similar feature in 3e26a7a594a9f2d91cba48ba70d30e3ca38a5505 to fix a bug.

In the end, I found that there were a few issues with this patch so I couldn't use it as-is (i.e. RNA api for FCurves already exists - it lives at the end of the struct def for FCurves, and the naming of the new API function was inconsistent with the rest of the code). Nevertheless, I ended up crediting this patch in the commit (though I had a bit of trouble trying to find it again at the time).

Thanks anyway for your time and work :)
