A lot, but I don't understand why. You seem to have a completely different pattern (and Python 2, not Python 3) in mind, but in fact as far as I can see the only point of conflict is that if the "registry of string names" proposal were adopted, you'd have trouble using the method name 'transform' as you would like to.

There's nothing in the registry proposal that prevents you from calling functions by name, or writing polymorphic transformers, etc.
