Cheers for the feedback. I suppose I just wanted to make sure all the
options had been considered ( which you already appear to have done in
great detail ) as this is something which I consider really important for
the language. That and I have an irrational dislike of millions of special
methods :)

Do you have a link to the big discussion you mention? I read the one in the
PEP but thats only a couple of messages long. ( I may be going blind
though!)
