The arithmetic methods don't *have* a "self" parameter
(or at least it's not always the first parameter), so
technically what the docs currently say is correct.
It's probably still worth clarifying this somehow, though.
Maybe something like
The self parameter of a method of an extension type is guaranteed never to be
None. (However, note that some operator methods do not always receive "self"
as the first parameter; see <link to special_methods.html#arithmetic-methods>).
