maybe some docstring feature could be used? with depth parameter, of how detail verbose output should be... and with support for internalization/localization?.. I generaly would be interested to try implement sth like this in next study year. > Some > functions can be more verbose if you tell them too (numerical > rootfinding and limits for instance).
