Every node, or just the non-Attr nodes that have children?

I'd be inclined to make it "lazy" and go searching up the tree to get
the base; one optimization I'd like to persue later is trying to make
the node.__dict__ not grow beyond 5 entries whenever possible.
(Allowing it to grow past that means an extra malloc() call.)
