I'm not sure I like the following suggestion better than the above, but
throwing it out there anyway:

Multiadapter:

IFoo((x,y))

Expanding the above:

IFoo((x,y), default=default)

We already have the function decorator zope.interface.implementer, I'd
extend that notion:

@IFoo.implementer
class Foo(object):
    pass
