optional arguments

[Skip Montanaro]

I like Marc-Andre's mx stuff (I use mx.DateTime), but I'm a bit leery of
inserting lots of symbols into builtins or sys, especially as a side effect
of importing a third-party module.  By my count, importing
mx.Tools.NewBuiltins adds 33 new objects to builtins and 5 new objects to
the sys module.  It's just asking for problems.  Those modules should
generally be reserved for use by the Python interpreter itself.
