Anybody? :)

print T[0][1]

   Python syntax is pretty regular.  If T is a list, then
T[0] is the zero-th element of T. If T[0] is a list, then
T[0][1] is the 1-th element of T[0].  Works for tuples and
dictionaries too.

   Hairier, if F(a) returns a function object based somehow
on the value of a, then F(a)(b) will call that function with
an argument of b. And so, on and on.  Tuples of functions?
Functions returning dictionaries caching lists of functions?
