Well, there isn't much difference here. "invoke method bar" implies a
method lookup that normally checks the method cache for existing
(statically built) methods. If a method isn't found there, the dynamic
plan B comes in. And if Python code overrides a method (attribute slot)
the method cache has to be invalidated.
More fun is probably to get the same inheritance ("mro") as Python.
