Just a follow up on the longer post I made [1]:

Is it bad to set __abstractmethod__ on non-functions in order to
trigger the ABC abstractness checks?

If not, are __isabstractmethod__ on objects and __abstractmethods__ on
classes misleading names?

Like I said before, I don't mean to imply that Python has it wrong.
On the contrary, I typically start by assuming that Python has it
right and then try to figure out what I am missing.  Such is the case
here.
