We were discussing something along these lines a while ago, and I
never saw anything truly satisfactory - there's no easy way to handle
a missing name by returning a value (comparably to __getattr__), you
have to catch it and then try to re-execute the failing code, which
isn't perfect. How does yours work? Or was it one of the ones that was
mentioned last time?
