Hi,

Why is a ForbiddenAttribute also an AttributeError? Is this intended to
avoid 'information leaks'?

We found a nasty side-effect together with getattr and annotations: a
user that didn't have read-access to __annotations__ would end up trying
to create the annotations container again and again because getattr(obj
'__annotations__', None) would return None instead of propagating the
ForbiddenAttribute exception.
