  This mostly defines a new KVC interface on NSObject. The major difference
  to KVC is, that KVC calls method keys while SoObjectLookup returns an
  invocation object.
  It also introduces a new "class" hierachy used for "web" methods and classes
  that basically mirrors the Python object system (where ivars and methods are
  both "attributes").
