but notice that python does not have (and never had) separate namespaces 
for methods and variables, like we have in ruby.
Special casing #call (which is something I like) will cause some 
breakage in cases where you do things like
  meth = meth(meth)
or similar, see a recent message from Joao Pedrosa (IIRC) that shows 
some examples of real libraries getting an error.
