I've started working this into an epydoc page that I can then start 
coding from (wow, that's probably never been done before).  Looking over 
the discussion, we will need two new PyTypes I'll call ActionStrips and 
ActionStrip.

ActionStrips is a sequence operator for ActionsStrips, which supports 
dictionary-like mappings.

I only have two unanswered questions (for right now):

I'm wondering how useful this method will be.  Just wondering.

I'm thinking this method would be ActionStrips.append(), but its 
required arguments are an Action object and a name string?
