   m_method is not a method - it is *bound* method! It is h.Callback - an
object, that stores both h and Callback! So when you call it, Python gets
the self for Callback from the bound method; the self will by just h!
Understand?

                       vvvvvvvvvv - you initialized m_method with the bound method

           Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.
