[gvanrossum]

Repro:

from typing import *
d = {}  # type: Dict[str, int]
g = d.get

Traceback:

I think I have a fix for the problem #2809
The problem is caused by accessing generic methods:

from typing import TypeVar
T = TypeVar('T')

class D:
    def m(self, x: T) -> T:
        return x

g = D().m  # This crashes.

There are more details in the PR description.
