Yes. Closures can retain state exactly the way you'd expect them to,
yet what Python would call a bound method (another way of retaining
state, specifically the object before the dot) is just... a function.
I find this nothing but bizarre. It basically demotes 'this' to the
position of any other argument, only it's implicit.
