I was expecting the lookup to still be affected by the inheriting class.  I should have tested it first.

I guess this invalidates the feature request.

Which will give the owner of the currently executing method.

`method(__method__).owner` or `method(__callee__).owner` isn't enough since it may return a different owner if the method is overridden.

Relying on calling the name of its owner is also theoretically not reliable since the constant can be overshadowed and it makes code less portable when moving it from one namespace to another.
