virtual classes: _postCreateVirtual(**kwargs)

[IanJones]

So one of the things we've identified we would like to be able to do
is pass kwargs to postCreateVirtual.

We're all comfortable with stuff like
pm.Joint(name='test',angleX=10,limitY=True) and right now that is
difficult to do with virtuals.

What we are proposing (co-authored by Seth Gibson) is that
_preCreateVirtual be extended to return two dictionaries. One for
passing to the underlying create function the other to the
postCreateVirtual.

We liked this approach for two reasons:
- One it puts the filtering of the kwargs (which are for create/post
create) on the developer right beside the _postCreate.
- Secondly because it should be easy to make backwards compatible by
testing the return length on _preCreate and using the original
behavior.

Thoughts?

Congratulations... I think this is the first post on pymel-dev. =)

Anyway - yeah, I think this sounds like a good idea in concept. And should be pretty easy to implement...
