It may sound like a silly excuse, but this sequence of closing
parenthesis is as unpythonic as it could be :-) In practice, it does
keep some of the proposed advantages of our little class creation
system. In theory, it's still different, because it's imperative, not
declarative. Is it a big difference? Maybe it doesn't sum up to
anything that big. I really don't know -- I'm still inclined to work
with the class declaration as a better, more concise and consistent
way to do what I want. But I concede that I'm lacking good arguments
-- it's more a 'hunch' than something that I can really argue about.
For now, it's more about "trust me, it will work" than anything
else...
