  different object types.
  
! The implementation adds two special read-only attributes:
! \code{\var{f}.func_code} is a function's \dfn{code
! object}\obindex{code} (see below) and \code{\var{f}.func_globals} is
! the dictionary used as the function's global namespace (this is the
! same as \code{\var{m}.__dict__} where \var{m} is the module in which
! the function \var{f} was defined).
! 
! Function objects also support getting and setting arbitrary
! attributes, which can be used, for example, to attach metadata to
! functions.  Regular attribute dot-notation is used to get and set such
! attributes. \emph{Note that the current implementation only supports
! function attributes on user-defined functions.  Function attributes on
! built-in functions may be supported in the future.}
! 
! Functions have another special attribute \code{\var{f}.__dict__}
! (a.k.a. \code{\var{f}.func_dict}) which contains the namespace used to
! support function attributes.  \code{__dict__} and \code{func_dict} can
! be accessed directly or set to a dictionary object.  A function's
! dictionary cannot be deleted.
