Are MY EYES deceiving me? I've ALWAYS thought it was:

    <dtm-var "aMethod(_.None,_, uncle='bob')">

Note the variables, they are very important :)

IIRC, I'm pretty sure I got this from either you (Michel) or Kevin
Dangoor in this mailing list a long while back. Maybe its time 
somebody put this more prominently in the docs, cuz it sure gets 
asked a lot, and I think there should be one "official" way of 
doing this ;^).
