Yay! I wish I could borrow Guido's time machine to go back to my early effort
on PyObjC, and take advantage of this feature to implement a nicer looking
syntax to expose ObjC methods to Python (instead of hardwiring the information
in the function name)!

I recall we had a very brief exchange on this at the time, and I event spent a
few days trying a quick&dirty approach (basically passing also the ordered
list of keywords...).

Anyway, we are in a new millenium now, and two major versions forward! ;-)

Thank you all,
ciao, lele.
