In version 2.1 Python added the ability to add function attributes -- see http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0232/ for the justifications. A counter probably isn't one of them, I just used that as a quick example of using thisfunc(). 

I've just never liked the fact that you have to name the function when accessing those attributes from within the function. And I thought there might be other uses for something like thisfunc().
