I think you missed the point.  The original point was not that Python
should raise a warning when a function is referenced, but not called.
It was, rather, that a warning should be raised when a function is
referenced, but the reference is then ignored.

i.e. "def foo(self): self.func" would raise a warning, but "def
foo(self): return self.func" would not.
