  Many times, you know the input and output of a procedure that you know must exist, but can't remember the name.

  Methodfinder finds the name. Let me know if you find it useful!

     >>> import methodfinder
     >>> methodfinder.find([]) == 0
     len([])
     sum([])
     >>> methodfinder.find([]) == False
     any([])
     bool([])
     callable([])
     >>> methodfinder.find(3) == "3"
     ascii(3)
     format(3)
     repr(3)
     str(3)
     >>> methodfinder.find([1,2,6,7], 6) == True
     6 in [1, 2, 6, 7]
     [1, 2, 6, 7].__contains__(6)
