This isn't "defining your own dunder". The syntax as described already
works inside a class:
class my_property:
def __init__(self, n):
self.n = n
def __set_name__(self, cls, name):
print("I'm a property %r on class %s" % (name, cls.__name__))
class X:
fred = my_property(42)
I'm a property 'fred' on class X
But AIUI this is implemented by type.__new__, so there's no useful way
to extend this to globals and/or locals.
