One place this type of thing is done a lot is in twisted, there's a
lot of passing around *av and **kw for generic operators and only at
the lowest level of the stack will they be inspected. It's nice
because if you decide you need to thread a new parameter through the
call graph you don't need to go change all of the function signatures.

Some days I think that every function and method should just take *av
and **kw since we don't have any type checking anyways...

And yeah, sqlalchemy and objects and such are so last millenium...
