And this fundamental difference is?

>From what I can tell an instance method is an object that encapsulates
the function object in a closure that makes sure it has a reference to
"self."  I know that you dynamically add functions to objects creating
methods dynamically, by using new.instancemethod or something.

This seems to indicate to me that there are functions and there are
functions.  Methods are in fact functions, just with a callable wrapper
around them.  Is this not so?
