I don't think it would actually be that much worse - something like
typetools.ProxyMixin would just involve a whole series of register

I'm not thinking about the __xxx__ methods, they're an
aberration. I'm thinking about all the user-defined
methods and attributes that get caught in one go by
the __getattr__ method of the proxy.
Ah, I see what you mean. That's where the generic system itself needs to
be based on generic functions - then you can hook the lookup function so
that proxies get looked up based on their target type rather than the
fact they're a proxy. It all gets very brain bending and self
referential, which is when folks tend to throw generics in the 'too
complicated' basket ;)
Cheers,
Nick.
