Well, this real polymorphism is interesting stuff.

Just because an object Y has an interface for tinkle with two
parameters, do we assume it's the same tinkle with two parameters that
object X has?

Is it really a bad thing to own a static analysis of the parameters
and semantics of your classes and objects?  I'm rather unpleased with
Python's lack of strong typing when you want it, and of the lack of
declarations to avoid accidental naming errors, especially when
case-sensitive.

Guess I'll just have to try it a few times every which way, until I
feel certain of my positions and preferences.
