Don't know about widely, but I can say I am unfamiliar with the way you 
are using them.

Why would you think that?  This list is composed of all types that use 
Python.  I've seen occasional discussion of functional programming, but 
I've only seen anything this confusing maybe twice before... granted, I 
don't read *everything*, but I do read quite a bit -- especially the 
stuff that looks like it might be interesting... like "stream 
programming", for example.  ;)


After the discussion I've seen so far, I still have no idea how I would 
use your code or what it's good for.
