+"""Bastionification utility.
+
+A bastion (for another object -- the 'original') is an object that has
+the same methods as the original but does not give access to its
+instance variables. Bastions have a number of uses, but the most
+obvious one is to provide code executing in restricted mode with a
+safe interface to an object implemented in unrestricted mode.
+
+The bastionification routine has an optional second argument which is
+a filter function. Only those methods for which the filter method
+(called with the method name as argument) returns true are accessible.
+The default filter method returns true unless the method name begins
+with an underscore.
+
+There are a number of possible implementations of bastions. We use a
+'lazy' approach where the bastion's __getattr__() discipline does all
+the work for a particular method the first time it is used. This is
+usually fastest, especially if the user doesn't call all available
+methods. The retrieved methods are stored as instance variables of
+the bastion, so the overhead is only occurred on the first use of each
+method.
+
+Detail: the bastion class has a __repr__() discipline which includes
+the repr() of the original object. This is precomputed when the
+bastion is created.
