Dunder names like `__name__` are reserved for the use of the interpreter. If
the programmer uses them for "other purposes", the programmer is responsible
for any failures.
You wouldn't write:
class MyList(list):
__len__ = "Hello world!"
and then be surprised that MyList is broken. You shouldn't be surprised if
setting `__name__` to an invalid value breaks things either.
