Are you saying that it would be OK to peek inside the function at
compile-time and capture self.__class__ then, rather than waiting for
run-time (when self might really be a subclass instance)?
On its own that seems reasonable, but the "peek early" proposals are
starting to add up, and they aren't all consistent.
The stuff inside a function definition doesn't get evaluated until
the function is called.
Except that if it has "yield", that changes the compiler settings.
Nothing gets evalated, we just peek.
And a switch creation does get evaluated early (if that happens).
And a static/once/final variable gets evaluated early (to line up
with switch)
And a super gets created early, but only halfway. It freezes
self.__class__, but not the self.__mro__
