In the long run, what do you suggest I implement for mayavi2, an object oriented interface (pure TConfig) or an dictionnary-like interface (your RcParamsWrapper)? I am not too exited about your RcParamsWrapper because it is not generated from the configuration object, and thus the info is duplicated, but I guess you did this for backward compatibility reasons, and I could use a canonical mapping from one to the other and do this automatically. I would like to proivde an interface that feels familiar to the user, this is why I am looking closely at what MPL and ipython are doing.
