Nah, I don't buy that.  Anyone who thinks that

        foo.emit(PYSIGNAL('ugh'), ('maggots', 'worms'))

is a sharper marketing move than

        foo.emit('yum', 'pleasant', 'thoughts')

has a case of severely interesting perspective.

I suspect the real reason behind what oddities there are in the current
API is that it was harder to do what my wee wrapper does back in the
golden days of Python 1.5.x, and the API has, understandably enough,
remained backwards compatible ever since.

Fire away.  Public domain.
