Oh no, types is definitely less weird - at least it's related to the
type system, whereas the operator module is about operator syntax
(attrgetter, itemgetter and index are at least related to the dot
operator and subscripting syntax)

Benjamin's suggestion of a class method on type may be a good one,
though. Then the invocation (using all arguments) would be:

  mcl.build_class(name, bases, keywords, exec_body)

Works for me, so unless someone else can see a problem I've missed,
we'll go with that.

Cheers,
Nick.
