I don't understand. In what sense 1.j != (1).j ? The latter is an
AttributeError, which I suggest to change.

Well that seems to kill it :-(. I should have digged deeper before
proposing this idea.

I assume it's fixable by making it a special syntax itself, or by
raising an AttributeError (I really doubt it appears anywhere) or by
making int's __getattribute__ handle it in a special way, but I
wouldn't suggest these ideas seriously.

The docs should mention this issue, however. perhaps in an end note.
