That would be great! First thing is addressing Guido's concerns from
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2012-March/117515.html and then
handling any issues you found. Not sure if Larry was asking about this out
of curiosity or because he too wanted to help.

I think the overall trick is keeping the API simple so it's easy to use but
exposes what one could reasonably need (e.g. I wouldn't try to keep the
order of keyword-only arguments).
