Yep -- I looked pretty hard about two years ago, and although I haven't
been looking for that specifically since, I haven't heard anything about
it.

The API docs don't provide a good way to find things like this, and the
Twisted example tutorial didn't mention it at my last check.

So if we have an in-the-field implementation of this style of
programming (call it what you will), is it worth *standardizing* that
style so that it's the same in Twisted, my library, and anyone else's
library that cares to follow the standard?
