Thanks.
Still it clearly falls within the the scope of what I wanted to remove:
the built in reflection/metadata functions. I just didn't read enough of
the language spec to know there were more of them hidden here and there
than what were listed in keywords and built-in functions.
But they are a finite set. Evidently I'm not the one to do it, but
someone who knew python better, could probably enumerate the reflection
stuff more effectively than me.
I already gave up, but I don't think its a dead concept.
