Not really, because that doesn't actually fit into the object model. A
class isn't actually involved with the calling of the method: once the
class returns it, the method's own __call__ is invoked later on. The
class is completely out of touch at that point.

The idiomatic way is really returning a wrapped function-- or using
decorators (which is just more explicit wrapping), I think.
