That's definitely true, but right now I have a lot of catching up to do.
:)  Although at least ORBit-Python probably beats out the competition in
speed and memory usage.

I'm sure there are more ... ;)

Oh right.  In fact my implementation requires it.  That's an error in
documentation.

I have to admit I'm a little embarrassed about that. ;)  I never even
made the connection.  In my own defense, I've been using the transparent
accessors, so the _get_/_set_ accessors look a little foreign to me.

Thanks for pointing out these errors.  I'll make the corrections ASAP.
