I don't see why. index has a slot because its primary use is to be called from C code, where slots add a slight performance advantage. trunc doesn't get called from C AFAIK.

I thought the trunc method only gets called from the C code for the trunc() function which is currently implemented with PyObject_CallMethod(number, "trunc", "") instead of a fast call to a slot.
