    Several simple extensions that add some nifty features to Python.
    
    NEWS: There is now a PyExt newsgroup on Google Groups. See https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/pyext.
    
    Some features:
    
    - Function overloading
    - Switch statement
    - Runtime module creation
    - Tail recursion removal
    - Python 2 function annotations
    - Python 2 safe tuple unpacking
    
    Examples:
    
    Function overloading::
       
       @overload.argc(1)
       def f(a): print 'Function 1 called'
       @overload.argc(2)
       def f(a, b): print 'Function 2 called'
       
       f(1)
       f(1, 2)
    
    Switch statement::
       
       with switch(1):
           if case(0): print 'Awkward...'; case.quit() # case.quit() is the same as break
           if case(2): print '???'
           if case(1): print 'Phew! It works!'
           if case.default(): print 'Ummmm...'
    
    Function annotations::
       
       @fannotate('Return annotation', a=1, b=2)
       def x(a, b):
           return 0
    
    TODO:
    
    - Add some more tests
    
    .. note:: Please ignore this project's messy commit history(several commits under invalid_email_address, about 20 commits labeled Initial). I was trying to use hg-git and kept goofing stuff up.
