Proposal: make new 'class_' etc. function arguments

[Pavel Potoček]

I'm not sure if feature proposals fit in here, but I'll give it a
try:)

As is written in PEP 8, when the name of variable collides with a
keyword, use trailing underscore.

It would be nice if this feature was implemented also in
BeautifulSoup.

Yes I know that for this case there is an alternative construction
{"class": "foo"}, but this is waay too long to write:]. Trailing
underscores would be logical and I would like them very much:) I'm
sure others would anticipate 'em too.

And it's also PEP-conformal. :)

Not a comment on your proposal, just pointing this out: As a shortcut,
you can search by class name by using something like:

tag.findAll('tag-name', 'class-name')

It works for all find* searches.
