Using lots of verbose getters and setters is unpythonic, but calling objects directly in that catch-all way is even more unpythonic. There are lots of things you might want to do to an MPL object, and we shouldn't elevate attribute get/set as the "main one" that should be accessed by the call syntax. That MEP would be great, though! -- Brendan Barnwell "Do not follow where the path may lead.
