I don't think this is a good idea -- continuations and coroutines might
mess it up. Maybe the right thing is to mess with the *compilation* of
__findattr__ so that it would call __setattr__ and __getattr__ with
special flags that stop them from calling __findattr__? This is 
ugly, but I can't think of a better way.
