Yup.
Why not handle this like we handle subroutines? That is, why don't we
have a find_method opcode that returns a bound method? That simplifies
parsing for IMCC and makes PIR a little simpler.
obj.'abc'() # call 'abc' method of obj
obj.abc() # same as above
$P0 = find_method obj, abc # get bound method indicated by abc symbol
$P0() # actually call it
