[Python-3000] native support for multiple dispatch in 3.0 ?

since it seems to be impossible to bring up new ideas in subthreads, I 
though I'd give this one its own thread:

- has there been any discussions on making RuleDispatch-type mechanisms
   available on a more fundamental level?

could someone perhaps come up with a list of real-life uses for PJE's 
existing dispatcher implementation?

or should we go all the way: how about using this mechanism for *all* 
dispatching, even the usual dispatch-on-instance handler?  and poly- 
morphic builtins too, while we're at it?

(the first person to bring up anonymous blocks in this thread will be 
duly *plonked* ;-)
