The image that comes to mind are all the damned calls to isinstance in
pylint.  These calls are intended to discover the *syntactic*
structure of the code.  This simply can *not* be the proper design of
one of Python's most important tools.  Instead, we want the inferences
to be driven by the semantic tables.  This will be simpler, faster and
*much* more flexible and powerful.
