I like the idea, but more as an exercise or a demonstration what can be done with Python. I also like that the code comes with a set of test cases which are written in a way that they nicely serve as user documentation. In fact, I could even imagine this example being used in a tutorial about the `__setattr__` etc. methods. However, unless there is a real use-case where such a feature is needed for some reason, I would rather not start using it only for the syntactic difference: For readers of code, such tricks increase the cognitive complexity. Having one idiomatic way of doing something makes things easier in most cases (https://peps.python.org/pep-0020): >There should be one -- and preferably only one -- obvious way to do it.
