Well, if new.method is deprecated, then types.MethodType should be
doubly deprecated. The types module was only ever intended for type
checking, not for creating new instances.

The correct solution will be to use whatever we end up deciding about
pyvm. Certainly the types module will go.

Maybe new in 2.6 should be a -3 deprecation only?
