I'm not sure, I picture this the same way you intended, but I believe
supporting the descriptor protocol is too confusing and breaks too much
code in many cases. You wouldn't normally expect to execute x.__get__,
etc on module attribute access if you are just trying to export some
object x that happens to be a descriptor.
