Okay, encouragement is a good motivator.  I'll try to get to it.

One of my main questions when I initially thought about it is how to
handle the operator methods in c++.  When I define __getitem__, I have
to define it as a python function using def, so is it compiled
directly into c code?  To ask it another way, is there any way to
create a class A such that I can write

a = A(...)
a[i] += 1

and have the a[i] += 1 be entirely c(++) code?

Okay, I'll look into it.  Thanks.

P.S.  Robert -- I see you're at UW.  I'm starting a PhD in stats there
in a few weeks.  Just down the hall from the math department, IIRC.
I'll drop by some time and say hi.
