Good point. I took the 'method' prefix as a quasi-guarantee of that,
though of course it isn't a real guarantee. OTOH, if one is expecting
everything starting with 'method' to be of one's own making, one might
like some notification of a non-callable's being found, rather than
silently skipping it.
