This seems a lot like trying to shoehorn something in so one can write
idiomatic R in Python. That on the whole sounds like a bad idea; a
friend of mine use to say he could write FORTRAN in any language but
no one else could read it. Wouldn't it be more pythonic (or more
accurately anything-other-than-R-ic) to use an interface that was more
like
model = model_fn(prediction, seq_of_predictors, data_table)
The problem here is that the `seq_of_predictors` doesn't include a way
for specifying their relationship with `prediction`, i.e. one cannot
(easily) distinguish
P ~ X + Y + Z
versus
P ~ X * Y + Z
