I am using `setattr(instance, self.name, value)`. But I see that instance.__dict__ is more appropriate in this case.

However, I was more interested, why doesn't __set__ have an `owner` argument, while `__get__` does. I am aware that this is not an issue at all as one can simply do `inst.__class__`, but I am just curious about the reason for inconsistency. Although, answers that I got were very useful.
