Hmmm. It seems that C method objects are more
like an unbound method object that's pre-bound to a
particular class.

I'm concerned with built-in function objects that
are *not* methods of anything. I'm suggesting they
should behave the same way as a Python function when
you put one in a class, i.e. accessing it through an
instance creates a bound method.

If that were the case, then Pyrex wouldn't have
to do anything special to create a Python class
containing a method implemented in Pyrex, and
unbound method objects could cease to exist without
causing Pyrex any problem.
