`functools.partialmethod` simplification

Descrizione

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.
