Ok.

You are right.

No, it doesn't.  I guess you have no choice, but to implement that
last method by yourself :-(

The only help, you get from Py++, is warning "W1010". You can use
"x.readme()" functionality to check whether set of functions have such
problem or not. You can use that functionality as assert for the
"solution 4".
