`functools.partialmethod` simplification

Description

Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

Now, as partial has __get__ and Placeholder it is probably a good idea to simplify partialmethod.

So the mental model of partialmethod can simply be:

partial, which always has the first argument set to Placeholder.

So partialmethod could maybe be a subclass partial, which would potentially simplify things.

Also, maybe there is a way so that partialmethod can be made obsolete altogether.

Will see where I can get to with this.
Any ideas welcome.

Start by reading the functools.partialmethod and functools.partial entry points, including the Placeholder behavior described in the proposal. Review issue 121027 and PR 119827's discussion, then inspect linked PR 124788. Done would require resolving whether the simplification or obsolescence proposal is viable and defining the resulting implementation and compatibility changes.
