We don't need instances of built-in types to allow extra attributes.
So, no need to say {}.__roles__ = something. What we would need is to be 
able to say dict.__roles__ = something.

It would be nice if the objects that represent built-in types could have 
attributes set on them. This would be helpful for some things in Zope 3 too.
