I'd say that the effect overriding dir() has on help() is intentional. Not sure 
about inspect -- it has other uses.
However, the last time I used it I was definitely hunting for stuff to document.

If want help to be effected that is easy enough -- there is already an inspect.classify_class_attrs wrapper, so if we add some post-processing to remove anything not in dir(obj) we would keep the current behavior in help().

Any other comments/recollections/concerns?
