Something like a __lookup__ attribute for all instances which are
namespaces.
Are all objects namespaces or have all objects a namespace?
Also syntax:
lookup(obj).append(x)
I suppose bound methods will not be found,but in that case some tolerant
unbound methods could do,naturally if the PEP on eliminating them will
be accepted.That check they do on the first parameter they push in the
function (aka 'self') is really contrasting dinamycal Python IMO.

This is a little hard for me.Has it something to do with extensions also?
