Fred Drake 35c09f2e51 Revise the description of when functions retrieved from class instances
are and are not turned into bound methods; some confusion was noted by

In particular, it has to be noted that functions located on the class
instance are not turned into any sort of method, only those which are
found via the underlying class.
