That's what I thought indeed.

It is a very interesting option, though I'm running out of either C API fu or
imagination how to make such thing at C API level...without fiddling
with PyGetSetDef table.

If Python sources make use of it, I could grasp it easily, but what to
look there at?
Would you mind pointing where to learn some details?
