I've always thought that having dir(obj) return only some attributes of 
obj, according to some arbitrary, implementation and version dependent 
algorithm, was an ugly wart.

help(dir) =>
"Return an alphabetized list of names comprising (some of) the attributes
    of the given object, and of attributes reachable from it:"
