it seems all the special purpose overloadable methods are to provide type 
emulation through classes
e.g.
__nonzero__
__contains__
__setitem__
etc.

it would be cool if there was another method provided that allowed a 
programmer to overload the value returned by an instance as well.

e.g.

class example:
        def __init__(self, name, data):
                self.name = name
                self.data = data

        def __value__(self):
                return self.data

eg = example("my name", (1,2,3))

>>>print eg
(1,2,3)

You could get to the instance behind the value by using a function like
instance(eg)

What do you guys think?
