I just replied to you on another thread. I've come to this conclusion
after seeing your example and doing some tests, perhaps because I
remembered reading a few days ago Raymond Hettinger's docs on
descriptors where its stated something along the lines that
"descriptors are the basis for <a whole bunch of things including>
bound and unbound methods". So it made sense...

...but even so, what doesn't make sense to me is if it's worth to do
it, at each and every method invocation. I really don't know, and I'm
curious, but I have no clue where to start looking for it, or how to
measure the impact on real-time performance.
