Well, for me having to check both __get__ and __str__ for a data descriptor
feels inelegant.
After read the documentation of collections.abc again "This module provides
abstract base classes that can be used to test whether a class provides a
particular interface; for example, whether it is hashable or whether it is
a mapping." I ask: what is the criteria to decide which interfaces are
worth implemented as an ABC in the standard library?
To my understanding, any well defined python protocol should have a proper
ABC.
