I really hate putting things in modules that will be needed in a Python
programmer's second program (the one after "Hello world"). If this is to
be the *simpler* way of doing introspection then getting at it should be
simpler than getting at "%". $ is taught in hour 2, import is taught on
day 2. Some people may never make it to the metaphorical day 2 if they
are doing simple text processing in some kind of embedded-Python
environment.
