They're methods in both cases. They don't have to be
"converted into methods"; they already are, by virtue
of their location and intended usage.
The wrapper that gets created on attribute access isn't
the method (despite being called MethodType!) -- the
method is the function that it wraps. The wrapper is
just part of the machinery that passes the self argument
to the method.
