Comment(by ronaldws):
When I apply the updated patch and run the tests, the patch shows that the
fundamental issue raised in the ticket has been addressed at this time.
Looking at the original tests, it seems that, during the IRC discussion
that started this trac ticket to begin with, a request was made to prevent
pmc method subs from being retrievable through the class namespace. I
vaguely recall that the issue was namespace pollution but am not sure and
it may also have been about inheritance or other possible pmc instance
transformations. I also don't really know whether it is still considered
a concern.
Reviewing the IRC discussion for the link below, I don't see the reason
for the restriction, but am a little reluctant to just drop it without
another pair of eyes taking a look.
