One thing to keep in mind is that class instances *also* allow their
attribute access machinery to be bypassed by writing to the
instance.__dict__ directly - it's just that the instance dict may be
bypassed on lookup for data descriptors.
So that means we wouldn't need to change the way globals() works -
we'd just add the caveat that amendments made that way may be ignored
for things defined as properties.
Cheers,
Nick.
