actually i ddin't think about the fact that you're overloading dict, which
can already take multiple values in getitem
so how about
class crazy: pass
and then in your dict class:
def __getitem__(*args):
if args[-1] is crazy:
return self.get(args[:-1])*5
else:
return self.get(args)
and then
print foo[1,2] #not crazy
print foo[1,2,crazy] #crazy
I *think* that would work
