I agree, and that was what I wanted from the beginning. But several people
have told me that it's *impossible* to find the class that an unbound method
was defined on. So I came up with this workaround instead.

I'll consider making a patch. Thanks for your help Martin.

By the way, when this discussion continues / when I make the patch, should I
post on python-dev instead of here?
