+\term{constructor}
+  Parse value in the form \samp{fn('1', '2', kw1='a', kw2='b')} into a
+  3-tuple where the first element is the string \code{'fn'}, the 2nd
+  element is the list \code{['1','2']}, and the 3rd element is the
+  dictionary \code{\{'kw1': 'a', 'kw2': 'b'\}}.  This is useful when
+  representing a Python-style constructor as a value.  Python syntax
+  rules are enforced, but only constants are allowed as positional and
+  keyword arguments.  The 3-tuple is returned.

+\term{existing-dirpath}
+  Validates that the directory portion of a pathname exists.  For
+  example, if the value provided is \file{/foo/bar}, \file{/foo} must

+\term{existing-directory}
+  Validates that a directory by the given name exists on

   Convert a value to an integer.  This will be a Python \class{int} if

+\term{ipaddr-or-hostname}
+  Validates a valid IP address or hostname.  If the first
