In general, directly accessing dunders is a bit of a code smell. (I
exclude writing dunder methods in your classes, of course.) There's
usually a built-in or similar to do the job for you, e.g. instead of
iterator.__next__() we should use next(iterator).
One of the lesser-known ones is vars(obj), which should be used in place
of obj.__dict__.
[...]
Proposal: enhance vars() to return a proxy to the object namespace,
regardless of whether said namespace is __dict__ itself, or a number of
__slots__, or both.
+1. Would it be possible in the future (Py4?) to change the name `vars`
to a more meaningful name? Maybe `namespace`, or something more appropriate.
