Indeed it does.  It's somewhat hard to tell that Python's even involved
anymore :)  The only other two things I can think of are:

1. Being able to use def!(foo), then just parse out foo's original name
would be cool :)

2. I wonder if you can somehow pinch the current module's name for the
module_init() call.

Not criticisms by any stretch of the imagination; just curious if it'd
be possible.  Can't wait to get my grubby mits on your code :)

make sense.
