My main problem with this part, is that user can run into the problem.
I try to explain my self. When he misspelled some reserved word, he don't h=
ave
to know that there is __getattr__ function that does some work.

In most cases, this part of documentation will be skiped.

The bottom line: if you don't mind I would like to exclude __getattr__
part of the
patch. If you feel, that this part is so good, then I will insert it,
but user will
have to turn this feature on. I will try to find how to do this.
