What I'm trying to avoid is,


    def __sub__(self, other):
        return subtract(self, other)

    def __add__(self, other):
        return add(self, other)

    def __mul__(self, other):
        return multiply(self, other)

    def some_func(self, *args, **kwargs):
        return some_func(self, *args, **kwargs)


for many existing functions. Injecting them as instance methods was
probably not ideal, but I could get it working (apart from the special
methods). Ideally I'd like to take all the functions defined in a
separate module, create ordinary class methods from most of them (with
the same name), then create special methods from the remaining
functions. Cheers.
