Thanks a lot George, that was what I was looking for. Got to
understand/appreciate inspect more.
Of course it works as a method. So, other than having it as a general
utility, I presume there is no special reason to have it as a function
rather than a method..

Thanks a lot FL. I have actually gone down this road first. But I don't
want to use a common prefix, and filtering methods out feels for me a
probable bug source, as in remembering whenever I add a method to class
A I need to add it to the filter.

Thanks again. I know I am doing a cmd variant. Actually, that's exactly
where I started, with your cmd module page.
The reason I am doing this is mainly to use a cmd variant decoupled
from stdin/stdout, to hook in PyShell or IPython (not decided yet). Is
there a way to use cmd without assuming stdin/stdout?
