Wow. Talk about having one's words fed back two years later! Yes, I think
that I'm coming around to your point of view, Paul.

I'm not at all sure whether we can come up with reasonable semantics of a
class which defines both __getattr__ and __get_foo__, and how subclassing
would affect things, though.  A useful discussion for Python 2.0 in any
case.  

(I note that this was back in prehistory when Guido read the newsgroup =)
