Correct. This is my fault. As Martijn already stated, the
docgrok-grokkers should not grok functions. I'll post a fix later on
today, which will grok class instances. It already works here, but I
still have to extend the docgrok-tests and documentation.

They are not. It was a dumb idea to do it this way. My apologies and

kind regards,
