I would suggest

  6. Ensure that all functions and statements that accept an UnboundMethod
object
     also return an UnboundMethod object (presumably the same one in most
cases).

e.g.,	private synchronized method foo(bar)
		...
	end

I really, really like this proposal, by the way.  Very clean, very
powerful.
