Details:

Accoring to the documentation, methods (OBJ) should return “methods for the
object OBJ”. When OBJ is an instance of class C and class C inherits class
P, any methods from class P are ommitted in the output unless they are
overriden in class C.

Expected result: methods (OBJ) returns a union of methods from classes C and
P.

Example (use 3.8.2 or dev branch): With the interval package you can call
“methods (infsupdec)”. The method “sup” from the base class infsup is
missing. The overridden method “round” is present.

Either the result should be fixed or the documentation should clarify that
methods (OBJ) actually returns methods from the class and not all methods for
the object.
