Summary: __slots__ attribute and private variable

Initial Comment:
If you use a __slots__ class variable and include a 
variable with a double underscore as the first two 
characters, that variable is NOT private as would be the 
case for any other variable whose name begins with a 
double underscore.

If this is by design, then it should be in the docs. If it is 
not and represents a bug, it needs to be investigated.

Thank you!!!
