This would be so if you get the same method object when resolve an 
attribute. But a.f is not a.f. Every time a new method object is 
created. If we want a.f == a.f, we need to implement a rich comparison 
logic.

There are realistic use cases. You will get a number of failures in the 
Python tests if make method objects incomparable.
