What *instance* called me & proxy methods

Ken, I checked this *before* posting my first message. In fact I cited this 
in my original message... First, in this paragraph, where I'm stating that 
I'm not looking for self:

And then here, when I said that I know about the im_self attribute (and 
about its companions as well).

Please check my examples. My question is not about how to know about "self" 
or "im_self". When I attach a instance method to my proxy, the value of 
im_self is kept the same(see the first example). I would like to have some 
way to know if the call was redirected through my proxy. My second example 
shows how I did manage to achieve it, but I'm not satisfied with the solution.
