Hoo boy. Maybe I should go check if it also supports 'whitespace' or  
'brain****' (you know, the language that's all + and - characters?).

That makes sense, although I did hear the other day that "someone"  
inside Apple is in fact pushing for better Python usage/support,  
overall, in their various products/projects. Granted, this is  
hearsay, but it *was* in a channel that has some well-positioned  
Apple nerds =)

Yea, 'class-dump' is useful in that regard =) Now if only I knew ObjC  
well enough to make good use of it...
