PEP 590 defines a new simple/fast protocol for its users, and instead of making existing complexity faster and easier to use, it's left to be deprecated/phased out (or kept in existing classes for backwards compatibility). It makes it possible for future code to be faster/simpler.

Can you elaborate on what you mean with this deprecating/phasing out?

What's your view on dealing with method classes (not necessarily right now, but in the future)? Do you think that having separate method classes like method-wrapper (for example [].add) is good or bad?

Since the way how PEP 580 and PEP 590 deal with bound method classes is very different, I would like to know the roadmap for this.

Jeroen.
