Default arguments of functions are eval'd during the execution of the 
def statement.

The fact that you use a def statement within a class statement's body is 
totally orthogonal - a def statement produces a function object, period.

It's only when resolved as a class attribute that a function "becomes" a 
method object (thanks to the descriptor protocol).
