I would not expect this:
  "getattr" accesses the attributes of "_", such as "string", "int", ...
  It can not access the "content" exposed by the mapping interface
  (e.g. via __getitem__).
A "get" method would also allow to pass "_" as parameter to
Z SQL methods. I called for it a long time ago.
But, helas ...
