(Just thinking out loud...)
Maybe we should create an alternate "object-oriented" version of pystone as
a way to inject more attribute access into a convenient benchmark. Even if
it's completely artificial and has no connection to other versions of the
Drhystone benchmark, it might be useful for testing improvements to
attribute access.
