Not very well, IMO.

Without seeing a concrete use case, it's hard to be
sure, but my feeling is that there's almost certainly
a better way of thinking about the problem you're
trying to solve -- one that doesn't require introspecting
on a callable object to find out whether its implementation
involves a 'self' argument. That's *not* duck typing,
it's look-inside-before-you-leap.
