Hi Travis, Sure this is one way of doing this but the whole point of my question is that I want tab-completion to produce a discoverable list of possible representations -- and tab-completion can't work for function arguments. Of course the documentation for a "representation" method could list the possible choices but I would like a more direct interface than this.
I mentioned namedtuple() in the question. Another option, that is already used quite a bit, is the "catalog" mechanism behind groups.<tab> and codes.<tab>, but this creates a static list of methods so it's not ideal.
