[IronPython] **kwargs and __getattr__ handling in csharp functions and classes?

[Dino Viehland]

For kwargs you need to decorate the function w/ a ParamDictionary attribute such as:

public void __init__(CodeContext/*!*/ context, object o, [ParamDictionary] IAttributesCollection kwArgs)

For __getattr__ IronPython will recognize a special name "GetBoundMember" method such as:

using System;
using System.Runtime.CompilerServices;

public class Foo {
    [SpecialName]
    public object GetBoundMember (string name) {
        return name;
    }
}


You can also do "GetCustomMember" which is like __getattribute__.  But for this one what you really want to do is inherit directly from the DynamicObject class and override TryGetMember.  Then it'll work not only w/ Python but w/ other DLR based languages as well (e.g. C#, VB.NET, IronRuby, etc...).
