As it involves adding a new standard library module, my proposal [1] to 
add a typetools.ProxyMixin class to 2.6/3.0 to make it practical to 
write type-agnostic interface adapter classes as new-style classes needs 
a pronouncement from yourself or Barry as to whether or not it can go in.

I think it's an important tool to add since 3.0 no longer has classic 
classes around to handle the task, and I'm suggesting a new module for 
it because none of the existing standard library modules seemed like a 
good fit for the functionality.

Cheers,
Nick.
