Thanks for the explanation.

The inconsistency I see is that if I wanted this kind of behavior
I would've used the staticmethod() builtin (which in a few words
alters __get__ to return the function unmodified).

So I would write

  A.foo = staticmethod (b.foo)

But now, it always acts as staticmethod:(

Anyway, if there's a PEP about it, I'm +1 because its "pythonic".
