[issue4517] improve __getattribute__ documentation

[David W. Lambert]

Yes to msg77021.  However!

I'll pin the difficulty specifically to the word "may".  This cost me a
lot of time.


1) Please change the phrasing you quoted to

"... implicit special method lookup bypasses the __getattribute__()
method even of the object’s metaclass:"


2) Please insert into the glossary a definition of "implicit special
method lookup" that addresses the grammar or syntax that causes it
considering monad and dyad use.


Thank you.
