Why not resolve the namespace clash with __call__ by making it a
different method, e.g. 

	IFoo.multi(a, b)

On the other hand, if IFoo *always* requires multiple adaptees, perhaps
the correct solution is to make the __call__ signature of interfaces
parameterizeable somehow, so that you can do IFoo(a, b, c=d) and have
those arguments get relayed (as *a, **kw) to the underlying factory?

In this case it seems that IFoo(a) would be an error either way.
