Ah well, another idea runs aground on the harsh rocks of reality.
I should point out that it's intentional that there are very few similarities between modules and classes. Many attempts have been made to unify the two, but these never work right, because the module can't decide whether it behaves like a class or like an instance. Also the direct access to global variables prevents you to put any kind of code in the get-attribute path.
