That's what my patch does, too, but I can't remember whether this was
by accident or design :-/.

Incidentally, I'm not sure 

class C:
    def s():
        print 1
    s = memoize(staticmethod(s))

would actually work (s would have type 'function').  I guess memoize
could made cleverer than the version I posted.
