Hmm, there is such a thing as being too simple... a generic function implementation that doesn't even respect ABCs seems pretty pointless to me (e.g. I'd like to be able to register a default Sequence implementation for pprint and have all declared Sequences use it automatically if there isn't a more specific override). I'll wait until I have a chance to actually play with the code a bit before I comment further though.
