Agreed.  I also like "adapt" because it is a verb -- which I prefer
method names to be.  For the same reason I'm not real keen on the name
"utility"... although I can't come up with anything better than
"get_utility" at the moment.

Too bad less-than is already defined for interfaces, otherwise we could
do something crazy like IFoo<context> for single adapters and
IFoo<a, b, c> for multiapdapters.

I suppose we could do: IFoo<<context>> and IFoo<<a, b, c>> instead.

Somehow I suspect that'll provoke a gag reflex in the most Pythonic
among us as well as annoy those that want something "googlable" for the
uninformed code reader.
