I already understood this, but thanks !-)

What I dont understand is what problem it could solve that couldn't be
solved more simply using the either _getattr__ hook or hand-coded
delegation, since such a descriptor would be so tightly coupled to the
host class that it just doesn't make sense writing a descriptor for this.
