/* `descr` is borrowed. This is safe for methods (even inherited ones from

*
* 1. The class will always hold a reference to the method so it will
* usually not be GC-ed. Should it be deleted in Python, e.g.
* `del obj.meth`, tp_version_tag will be invalidated, because of reason 2.
*
* 2. The pre-existing type method cache (MCACHE) uses the same principles
* of caching a borrowed descriptor. It does all the heavy lifting for us.
* E.g. it invalidates on any MRO modification, on any type object
* change along said MRO, etc. (see PyType_Modified usages in typeobject.c).
* The type method cache has been working since Python 2.6 and it's
