PS. The term "data descriptor" now feels odd, perhaps we can say "hard descriptors" instead. Hard descriptors have a set method in addition to a get method (though the set method may always raise an exception, to implement a read-only attribute).
I'd prefer "property descriptor" since that's the primary use case. "Getset descriptor" also works for me.
