Unless I misunderstood the docs, index is used when the object is used as an index (or with bin or oct, but I didn’t want to complicate the docstring, just fix it).

Well, it's only used for converting to an integer (also, it's used in more cases than just indexing), so "someobject[self]" is not the actual operation.

Antoine.
