Summary: I can't change attribute __op__ in new-style classes

Initial Comment:
I tried to use multimethod module from peers package available at 
http://viral.media.mit.edu/peers/peers-0.20050929.tar.gz to create several 
__mul__ operators in a new-style class and experienced this problem.

In new-style class I can't change the attribute __op__. Even if I change it 
with setattr, genuine __op__ will be called.

For instance, if I set __mul__ operator to method object new_mul and write

setattr(obj, '__mul__', new_mul)
obj *= 1 # __mul__ will be called.
# But
obj.__mul__(1) # new_mul will be called.

With common methods and with old-style classes all works properly.

P.S. Sorry for my English

These special methods are looked up upon the type for new-style classes.
This won't change.
