This behaviour seems to imply a rather fundamental change to the way that Python handles bound methods. At present every time you access foo.bar you get a new object created, but I think from your description that you want to be able to associate a ccl with all the foo.bar objects.

Or to put it another way:

fn1 = foo3.bar fn1() // executed okay fn2 = foo3.bar fn2.set_ccl(deny_ccl)

fn2() *** EXCEPTION: execute capability barred to "all functions". fn1() *** ??? What should this do.

If I set a ccl on fn2, should it also affect access to fn1? They are separate objects, so shouldn't they have separate ccls? If they share a common ccl, then how is it going to be stored without impacting heavily on every method call?
