IMNSHO, I think this is a step in the wrong direction!  Do you really 
have that much time on your hands?  How are you going to maintain b/w 
compat?  What about new versions/new features, tests, bugs?  An option 
would be to request Dave Morrill to see if this could be done in traits. 
  Kind of like elementtree/celementtree.
