This is true and this is the reason I changed this issue from bug to
doc. I seem to remember this having been discussed before, but I
cannot find the right thread. There are at least two reasons cpython
docs should mention this:
1. From current documentation, users are likely to expect a value
error from format(".$#@", ..) rather than an attribute error.
2. Naive proxy objects may implement __getattribute__ that blindly
inserts attribute name into database queries leading to all kinds of
undesired behaviors.
