Is the only problem here that this style of development hasn't had been made visible enough?

Yep -- I looked pretty hard about two years ago, and although I haven't been looking for that specifically since, I haven't heard anything about it.

The API docs don't provide a good way to find things like this, and the Twisted example tutorial didn't mention it at my last check.

So if we have an in-the-field implementation of this style of programming (call it what you will), is it worth standardizing that style so that it's the same in Twisted, my library, and anyone else's library that cares to follow the standard?
