Interesting idea - I'm not yet at a level of Python wizardry
that I would dare to do something that's not explicitely bles-
sed be the documentation;-)

Ok, that's still way over may head at the moment;-) I will hhave
to read up on functools tomorrow, it's the first time I heard of
it but it looks quite interesting at a first glance.

Thank you for these ideas, I'll need a bit of time to figure out
these new concepts and I don't think I'm up to it tonight any-
more;-)
                         Best regards. Jens
