I've read your comment before sending the email. But I preferred to
show what we are doing right now over "faking" a solution that might
be more beautiful.

Regarding maintenance, the string representation has some advantages.
It's easier to explain how to modify a configuration file that contains
some strings than explaining how to modify Python source code. OTOH,
losing meaningful debug messages hurts, of course ;-).
