Hi there, I think we've had enough discussion to make a decision. Hopefully everybody is at least reasonably happy with this: An "adapt()" method will be added to Interface. It takes the objects to adapt as *args, and optional but explicit 'default' and 'name' aguments. A "utility()" method will be added to Interface. It takes optional but explicit 'default' and 'name' arguments. On the adapter hook (__call__) we will deprecate the implicit second argument for defaults, with a deprecation warning. Instead, we will require people to write out 'default=' explicitly. Otherwise its behavior remains unchanged. I think we can motivate this change purely because IFoo(bar, baz) really is quite surprising compared to IFoo(bar, default=baz). [steering group members, if you are really unhappy with this, please speak up now. Silence is assent. :)] Hopefully we can move forward towards implementation. Thomas Lotze, are you happy enough with this to still help with the implementation? Thanks everybody for your participation in the discussion!
