-== Implementation notes ==
-Most properties and generators accept the same parameters as the API, without
-their two letter prefix. Exceptions to this rule:
-* Image.imageinfo is the imageinfo of the latest image. Earlier versions can be
-  fetched using imagehistory()
-* Site.all* : parameter [ap]from renamed to start
-* categorymembers is implemented as Category.members
-* deletedrevs is deletedrevisions
-* usercontribs is usercontributions
-* First parameters of search and usercontributions are search and user

-Properties and generators are implemented as Python generators. Their limit 
-parameter is only an indication of the number of items in one chunk. It is not
-the total limit. Doing list(generator(limit = limit)) will return ALL items of 
-generator, and not be limited by the limit value.
