New submission from Jim Jewett <[email protected]>:
The documentation for hasattr, getattr, and delattr state that they are
equivalent to object.attribute access; this isn't quite true, because
object.attribute uses a NFKC-normalized version of the string as only the
secondary location, while hasattr, getattr, and delattr (assuming an object
rather than an Identifier or string) don't seem to do the normalization at all.
I think the simplest fix would be to normalize and retry when hasattr, getattr,
and delattr fail with a string, but I'm not sure that normalization shouldn't
be the only string tried.
