Does this effect code written in Python? As I understand, in Python
code, unbound methods are just plain old functions, and there is no
type-checking done on `self`.

... def method(self, arg):
... return (self,)

(999,)
So I think your proposal will only affect builtin methods written in C.
Is that correct?
