But it sounds as though you are saying the benefit is irrelevant; it is just inherently too expensive to ask programs that are already dealing with internals and trying to optimize performance to make a mechanical change from: code.magic_attrname to: magicdict[code]What have I missed?
You've missed that debugging and profiling tools that operate purely on native memory can't execute Python code, so the "magic" has to be easily representable in C such that it can be copied into whichever language is being used (whether it's C, C++, C#, Rust, or something else).
