Least ugly suggestion: Just don't use hasattr(); use your `x in

something in dir() consumes O(n) operations for lookup, while hasattr
or getattr() require O(log(n)). It matters for me, because it's inside
deeply nested mathematical computations FuncDesigner is made for.
I'm not sure where you are getting log(n) from, but regardless, if you have so
many attributes that the O() matters more than the constant, you have more
problems than this.
