Comment (by SimonKing):

 Replying to [comment:16 SimonKing]:
 > At some point, I need to find out what class the default implementation
 is defined for, so that one can get the non-default implementation by a
 call to `super`. That's a problem. Currently, I go up the class hierarchy
 and test whether the conditionally_defined instance is in the `__dict__`
 of the class. But if the conditionally_defined instance is wrapped in a
 different wrapper (e.g., a cached_method), then this way of determining
 the class will fail.

 `__get__`. To be investigated...

 PS: In my current patch, I trust that the class that Python gives as an
 argument to `__get__` is the class in which the object-to-be-bound is
 found. It seems to work.
