It's worth considering.  I'm estimating it's about 1.5 days' worth of 
work.  Mainly because, at the same time, I need to teach Clinic to have 
separate namespaces for "parser" and "impl" functions.  At the same time 
I was going to implement a frequently-requested feature, allowing the C 
variable storing an argument to have a different name than the actual 
Python parameter.

And it could be one of those "hey that was easier than I thought" 
things.  1.5 days is kind of worst-case.  So maybe the best thing would 
be to give it a half-day and see if it turned out to be easy.


Of course, If we bring the Derby to a close now-ish (debate going on in 
python-committers right now!), then I'll definitely put it off until 3.5.
