Updated mechanism for method-specific option setting. Still work
in progress, but code now much cleaner.
One additional routine, ``show.where``, can have its method
parameters set at runtime. More to follow as the method-setting
technqiue progresses.
The experimental operator forms of ``show`` such as ``>`` and
``>`` have been withdrawn. The operator style isn't consonant with
Python philosophy, complicated the code base, and only partially
worked. Interesting idea, but experience suggests they are not
worth the trouble.
