[issue2040] Class instance attributes that are property() should appear in __dict__

Amaury Forgeot d'Arc added the comment:

Well, a regular method also takes "self" as its first argument. And it
will not appear in the instance's __dict__.

The __dict__ of an object is intended to *store* its attributes.
A property can be accessed like an attribute (foo_obj.bar), but it is
computed each time, and not stored.

Do you know the dir() function? It returns the names of all known
attributes of a object, including properties and methods.
