To the contary, I just realized in this would in fact be the right approach. In particular, any *descriptor* named __*__ would be considered a "data descriptor". Non-descriptors with such names can still be overridden in the instance __dict__ (I believe this is used by Zope).
It should check that the __*__-named thing isn't *already* an override descriptor, though.
