That's just copied from the Python docs:

https://docs.python.org/3.8/reference/datamodel.html#object.__get__

Anyway, I never liked the name "owner" there, "cls" would have been much 
clearer.

For PEP 575, I thought of "owner" too, but I don't like it because it 
sounds too possessive. It sounds like the "owner" somehow has complete 
control over the function and I don't want that association.
