It certainly *is* a possible definition, but you can get essentially that
behaviour using new.instancemethod, so a new descriptor isn't necessary for that
case.
The suggested descriptor was to get an alternate behaviour which injected the
automatically supplied self argument at the start of the list of positional
arguments.
