It does add an attribute lookup whenever a Python subclass
is involved, so it's not entirely overhead-free.

More seriously, it looks like it will fail if the overriding
method tries to call the inherited method. This will call
the wrapper, which will pick up the overriding method and
call it again, leading to infinite recursion.
