I plan to make a proposal that would allow the following:

import zope.interface

class IFoo(zope.interface.Interface):

  attr = zope.interface.Attribute('doc string')

  def method():
    """doc string"""

interfaceTags = zope.interface.interfaces.ITaggedValues(IFoo)
interfaceTags.someVariable = value

attributeTags = zope.interface.interfaces.ITaggedValues(IFoo['attr'])
attributeTags.someVariable = value

methodTags = zope.interface.interfaces.ITaggedValues(IFoo['method'])
methodTags.someVariable = value

Alternatively, I would like to try the following as well:

from zope.interface.interfaces import ITaggedValue

class IFoo(zope.interface.Interface):

  attr = zope.interface.Attribute('doc string')
  ITaggedValues(attr).someVariable = value

Any comments before I spend time writing this up?

Regards,
Stephan
