Summary: classmethod does not check its arguments

Initial Comment:
In 2.3a1, classmethod(3) works just fine. I think it
should be a type error.

It might be worthwhile to specialcase method objects,
so that

class X:
  def foo(self):pass

X.foo=classmethod(X.foo)

does the "right" thing, i.e. is equivalent to

class X:
  def foo(self):pass
  foo=classmethod(foo)
