Not really. For that to work helperMethod would still have to be declared via a
in scope function declaration and rather than as a method in the same class or
object literal as M1. In that case, it really isn't a method and shouldn't be
named as such or use a this reference. All the bind (or call/apply) is saving
is the renaming of any "this" references in the original <C> fragment. But you
should want to do that renaming because the helper is no longer a method so
making it a function that references "this" would just be a likely source of
confusion concerning the intended use of the function
