*Caution*:
Callables resulting from a call to __getitem__ (as in (1)
above) are handled differently from callables that are merely
attributes (as in (2) above).
The former are returned as-is, while the latter are first called
and that value returned. Here is an example:
>>> def greet():
... return "Hi Bob!"
>>>
>>> class Greeter(object):
... greet = None
>>>
>>> obj = Greeter()
>>> obj.greet = greet
>>> dct = {'greet': greet}
>>>
>>> obj.greet is dct['greet']
True
>>> Context(obj).get('greet')
'Hi Bob!'
>>> Context(dct).get('greet') #doctest: +ELLIPSIS
<function greet at 0x...>
TODO: explain the rationale for this difference in treatment.
