Type constants in type module

[Dave Harris]

If
splunge = 3
forMeToo = splunge.__add__

type(forMeToo) prints:

<type 'method-wrapper'>

The constants defined in the types.py module do not include this type. Is this an oversight or am I looking at a detail which is supposed to be hidden from view?

Thanks,

-----------------
type(3.__add__) should give you same puzzle.

Yes, method wrapper is a current implementation detail which is not
part of language per se. But it is obviously not hidden ;-).
