Folks that are interested in these kinds of ideas may also want to
take a look at Fraser Tweedale's "Elk" project and see what would be
involved in porting the "method modifiers" feature to Python 3:

Cheers,
Nick.

P.S. I don't know of anyone actually using Elk in production, but it's
a good project to explore for anyone interested in more structured
approaches to managing method overrides
