Much to my surprise, it seems to. I just tried it and it worked just  
fine. :)

Not that I'm aware of.

There is one surprise.  If you use a descriptor, that you might  
install via a decorator, to moderate writes, a setattr will be viewed  
by a base class as as causing a write, even if the descriptor elects  
not to modify state.  I'd have to think hard about whether this might  
be considered a bug (or perhaps even a missfeature).

I can't see this.

Other than what I mention above, I'm not aware of any.
