Hmm, yeah, we want something more along the lines of:

   registerAdapter(convertToDateTime,
                   forStringTypes=['mxDateTime.DateTimeType'],
                   provides=[IBasicDateTime])

But your example does show off the crazy crap you can do, which makes me 
believe that something like this would be quite easy to implement.

I didn't mean "inside the 'twisted' Python package", I meant "in the 
Twisted package" ;-). So, yeah, beside Twisted, I guess.
