[Zope-dev] Exception verbosity in CA

Some motivation:


File ".../zope/interface/adapter.py", line 482, in queryMultiAdapter
         result = factory(*objects)
     TypeError: __init__() takes exactly 2 arguments (3 given)

Perhaps the need for introspection tools would not be so immediate if 
the exceptions were more informative; for instance, in the example 
above, why not print the repr of the factory having problems.

Or better, use the ``inspect`` module to show what the factory expects 
in terms of parameters and list the ``*objects`` passed to it.
