Special Attributes
------------------

The implementation adds a few special read-only attributes to several
object types, where they are relevant:

`__dict__'
     A dictionary or other mapping object used to store an object's
     (writable) attributes.

`__methods__'
     List of the methods of many built-in object types, e.g.,
     `[].__methods__' yields `['append', 'count', 'index', 'insert',
     'pop', 'remove', 'reverse', 'sort']'.  This usually does not need
     to be explicitly provided by the object.

`__members__'
     Similar to `__methods__', but lists data attributes.  This usually
     does not need to be explicitly provided by the object.

`__class__'
     The class to which a class instance belongs.

`__bases__'
     The tuple of base classes of a class object.
