This hits the two-faced issue on the head: it's a bug if you look at 
this with ObjC in mind, it's an essential shortcoming if you look at it 
with Python in mind.

Bob said (at some point in the past of this discussion) something to 
the effect that someclass.somemehod is a selector. If you view it from 
that angle then the current behavior is a bug.
My initial thought (with my Python hat on) was that 
someclass.somemethod is either a class method or an unbounded instance 
method. Then this isn't a bug but a shortcoming that can't be overcome.
