* Title better reflects what's proposed
* Try to clarify the proposal (by changing the text and adding examples)
* Add background information on why I'm working on this proposal
* Slight semantic change: "type" does not provide a __locallookup__
method. This was done to ensure that the type attribute cache
can be kept.
This replaces a special method that was tuned for use by super()
by one that is also usable for PyObject_GenericGetAttr, and has
a cleaner interface (a method on the meta type instead of static method
on the type that didn't really know what it wanted to be).
Next up: provide prototype implementation, then post to python-dev again.
