okay, I'll retract.  here's today's opinion:

+1 on an experimental future, which is not part
of the language definition, and not necessarily
supported by all implementations.  (and where
supported, not necessarily very efficient).

-1 on static function variables implemented as
attributes on function or method objects.

def eff():
    "eff"
    print "eff", eff.__doc__

def bot():
    "bot"
    print "bot", bot.__doc__

eff()
bot()

eff, bot =3D bot, eff

eff()
bot()

# or did your latest patch solve this little dilemma?
# if so, -1 on your patch ;-)
