I took three more or less positive oppinions as enough to
give it a go. Maybe that was too hasty.

sure enough, the code base is still pretty much in flux.
OTOH the revision-809 change is not supposed to change any
architecture but to reduce boilerplate and improve readability.
I went through all the files and didn't encounter any problems but
in fact fixed some bugs and typos which went unnoticed before.

No doubt, the intobject is the most detailed implementation among
the objspace's xxxobjects. And I knew that you implemented it -
also from some comments :-)
But i checked with "svn log intobject.py" and noticed that the
last five commits came from Armin and also involved Multimethods...

...I have sent you a couple of private mails lately and you didn't
respond so i thought you may be busy with other stuff.
So all in all i thought i'd be better off asking in the wild
especially because other people might be interested in any answers.

thanks for the pointer.
