That would make it more similar yet to `__array_ufunc__`, but I'm not sure
how useful it is, as you cannot generically assume the methods have the
same arguments and hence they need their own dispatcher. Once you're there
you might as well pass them on directly (since any callable can be used as
the function). Indeed, for `__array_ufunc__`, this might not have been a
bad idea either...
