I thought there was something like this, thanks! :)

When I read this, I thought "OK, now I only have check first if the
attribute can be looked up in 'self' first", but even that isn't the case.
I tried it and added another function to class W above, which I can call
just as if it was defined in _wrapped, so obviously (?) the __getattr__
lookup isn't done there.

So, short follow-up question: Why does this work?
