I think we hook in at the tpgetattr(o) level. Module objects can detect rebindings there and do whatever bookkeeping is necessary to keep references to its name consistent. I think this is the right approach for either technique we're discussing.

Would that catch changes like

math.dict['sin'] = math.cos

??
