Close -- I would have to do a lot of thinking, swapping in parts of my memory that have been gone for years. I say, follow CPython blindly and you can't go too wrong: even if the rules are arbitrary, they are what everyone expects.
Fair enough. It is going to be tricky with coercion (AFAIK, there is no easy way to ask two java objects if they share the same method implementation without resorting to reflection), but I'll do my best.
Thanks!
