I think we'll always have top-level functions and
programmers who use those to bypass object.method()
syntax whenever they feel like it.

The idea of Python emulating Ruby sounds dissonant
in light of my recently having read the Bruce Eckel
dismissal of same:

"if you've used Python at all, you wouldn't give
Ruby a second glance."
