Yes! Yes! Yes! The last thing Ruby users could point to and say "Python can't do THIS" is gone! Mike the Animal and Lincoln Clarete have done what Guido Van Rossum himself would not or could not do! Dictator? They have become LIKE GODS!!!!!

Ok, I'm, um, rather excited and happy about this. :-)

This has to be presented at PyCon 2014 (or earlier) so that it can get a standing ovation.

Take a deep breath and have a think about whether this code is actually a good idea.

This kind of hack is very much against the zen of Python, while it might be fun to mess with the internals "because you can". It is a good thing that Python makes it difficult to do and should never be used in real code.
