My bug report went into the old collector. And this collector (and
its content) is lost.

But, I think, there is already a new bug report (from someone else).
Search <http://collector.zope.org>.

I am not sure, but I think that this is at least necessary.
It might also be necessary to modify the "getattr" method
(it probably has not this exact name) such that it looks
also in the dict (better, calls the standard function
to look up an attribute, (something like "find_attr").
