That reminds me.  I certainly wouldn't propose this as standard
interface object behavior, but is there going to be a non-horrible way
to do what nevow.formless does?  e.g.

class X(TypedInterface):
    def y(z=String()):
        return Integer()

and then be able to introspect X['y'] to determine the implied
signature?  I understand the args are in X['y'].optional, but I can't
figure out a way to get to the actual function 'y'.  I think it should
be available for other introspection reasons as well; it would be nice
to find the source line where an interface method was defined, for
example.
