Comment (by nbruin):

 I found this suspicious (it's in the implementation of the
 `_fast_callable_` method
 {{{
 + self.__name__ = self.__repr__() # was clobbered by category mechanics
 + return etb.call(self, *map(etb.var, etb._vars))
 }}}
 One shouldn't touch the `__name__` attribute, and certainly not during
 arbitrary executing code! Is it clear what code depends on the `__name__`
 being identical to `__repr__`? Can we solve this issue (cheaply) during
 `__init__`, or perhaps avoid the clobbering altogether?
