Spin-off from Greg's thread. The bound method object stores a reference to the original object (the thing that becomes the first argument to the target function) in __self__ (and the function in __func__). ISTM this ought to be _self (and _func), as it's intended to be private; is it really something that has language-level significance on par with __lt__ and so on?
