I think that lookup is a registry function. Not sure if there is anything  
to be gained by making it available on the interface. But +1 on explicit  
methods over collapsing it into the language. I can see advantages of  
having a Pythonic idiom for this in the future as with set, dictionaries,  
etc. but at the moment I think the risk of confusion is greater than the  
shorthand advantage. However, I think this is going to turn out to be a  
matter of personal preference.

Having struggled to work out why I get the errors I do anything that  
provides more information as to why I can't adapt, ie. which interfaces  
are required I'd love something more than the current TypeError
