What do people think? (My main motivation for this, as stated before, is that it adds complexity without much benefit.)
Something important that came up in my response to Marc-Andre:
What about C method implementations which are relying on this typecheck and assuming that 'self' is (nearly) guaranteed to be of the correct type?
The string object implementation is where I noticed this assumption being made, but I suspect it would be fairly widespread.
Obviously, use of im_func can break such code already, but that's a far cry from having C.f skip the type check.
Cheers, Nick.
