New submission from Ryan Morshead:
When the `__get__`, `__set__`, or `__delete__` attribute of a descriptor is not
a method, and is instead a generic callable, the first argument of that
callable is inconsistent:
class Callable(object):
def __call__(self, first, *args, **kwargs):
print(first)
class Descriptor(object):
__set__ = Callable()
__delete__ = Callable()
__get__ = Callable()
class MyClass(object):
d = Descriptor()
mc = MyClass()
mc.d = 1
del mc.d
mc.d
Prints:
<__main__.MyClass object at 0x10854cda0>
<__main__.MyClass object at 0x10854cda0>
<__main__.Descriptor object at 0x10855f240>
As it turns out, this occurs because `slot_tp_descr_set` (shared by `__set__`
and `__delete__`) and `slot_tp_descr_get` just aren't consistent in their
implementation.
See:

Is this behavior intentional? If not, how ought this case be handled?
