Description
E.g. given an object x with method foo, it'd be nice if we could invoke the method with something like:
py_invoke(x, "foo", ...)
One could of course invoke it by name with x$foo(), but that's less useful when the method name is referenced by a variable.

Research direction
Start by reading reticulate's existing Python method invocation path, especially the x$foo() interface, and compare how method names and arguments are handled. Done means providing a helper that accepts an object, a method name held in a variable, and invocation arguments, with behavior consistent with direct method calls.
