[Python-Dev] PEP 246, redux

I strongly prefer *not* to have A->B and B->C automatically used to
construct A->C.  Explicit is better than implicit, if in doubt don't
guess, etc etc.

So I'd support:

    - As a first cut, no automatic transitive adaptation

    - Later, and only if experience shows there's a need for it,
      add a way to say  "this adaptor can be used as part of a
      transitive chain"
