This is exactly what I am thinking.

What we differ is that if using both assignment syntax and setattr()
builtin function is a good design. You think the current design which
lets them co-exist is more understandable, while I think this is less
perfect and then not that more understandable. :)

"Understandable" is hard to define, it differs so much from person to
person. "Perfect" is a strong sense for which I enjoy programming and
learn programming languages.

Thanks much for your detailed answers, I like discussing this with you!
