there are a few of my questions / comments we can resolve by using something like

```python class UncachedAccessor: def init(self, accessor): self._accessor = accessor

def __get__(self, obj, cls):
    if obj is None:
        return self._accessor

    return self._accessor(obj)

```

The only disadvantage is that now pydoc (or help()) show the accessor as a class. That was already the case for str and dt, but plot was a function.

I think we could try to trick inspect.getmembers (which is used to decide which kind of output should be done), but that would require a lot of monkeypatching I'd rather not do.

pandas simply uses the same docstring for the class and __call__, which is not ideal but a lot simpler.

👍 for a simple solution here like pandas rather than using inspect. I think it's probably actually slightly more accurate to show the class.
