Thanks.

Still it clearly falls within the the scope of what I wanted to remove: 
the built in reflection/metadata functions. I just didn't read enough of 
the language spec to know there were more of them hidden here and there 
than what were listed in keywords and built-in functions.

But they are a finite set. Evidently I'm not the one to do it, but 
someone who knew python better, could probably enumerate the reflection 
stuff more effectively than me.

I already gave up, but I don't think its a dead concept.
