Well, I'm not sure. One could also argue that 1 and 1.0 mustn't compare
equal because they cannot be used equally in all circumstances (e.g.
__index__), they have different repr's, different types, etc.

The question is: what kind of use case does it help to have them compare
unequal? I can see the utility of having them compare equal: to check
whether a method has been overriden or not.

(I'm removing 2.4 and 2.5 anyway since the change would break compatibility)
