Here's something that somehow feels like a second-best solution, but it at least maintains consistency: Everything that can be accessed as something.get_attribute(some.scope.ATTR_NAME) can now *also* be accessed as something.attr_name. I don't think I want to kill the get_attribute interface entirely. This would still mean that Function.registers would be deprecated, in favor of Function.num_regs The point is that the name of the attribute and the name of the magic number would be consistent with each other and therefore could be implemented automatically--with no further maintenance burden. Opinions on this one? Andreas
