Subject: [PATCH] Partially apply doc/span/token into method

We want methods to act like they're "bound" to the object, so that you can make your method conditional on the `doc`, `span` or `token` instance --- like, well, a method. We therefore partially apply the function, which works like this:

```
def partial(unbound_method, constant_arg):
    def bound_method(*args, **kwargs):
        return unbound_method(constant_arg, *args, **kwargs)
    return bound_method
