|Do we need a PEP?

In my view, no.  And I am a fan of PEPs.  I personally saw unbound method 
wrapping as more of a CPython implementation detail than an essential part 
of the language definition.  This in spite of its mention in the reference 
manual.

In the index, 'method object' has 3 links.  I believe all three areas will 
need at least a word or two changed.

If this is a 3.0 change, then it should be listed in the general PEP with a 
reference to the thread.  Otherwise, What's New.
