+<h4><a name='kwtypes'>Specifying types for Expression kwargs</a></h4>
+<p>Up to now, we've constructed Expression objects with a single argument,
+the function which we're going to wrap. But Expression objects may take
+a second argument, called "kwtypes". This argument must be a dictionary of
+{keyword: type} pairs. Dejavu doesn't do anything internally with this
+information; it's simply a standard place to keep it for use by your own
+applications. However, the kwtypes attribute will be persisted when
+pickling and unpickling Expression objects, a very common operation.</p>
