Python 3.0 has a proposal, accepted I believe, to allow classes to control the behavior of issubclass and ininstance, so there appears to be tacit support from the language for mimicking the proxied classes in such ways. I guess for me it would be a judgment call on based how tight I wanted the proxy class to be--is it being the class, or is it just standing in?
