FWIW, at Resolver (75k lines of IronPython code currently) we use getattr / setattr almost as many as 8 times. (I was very surprised at how low that was.)

That said, when I explained the proposal to two of my colleagues both of them were very happy with the obj.[name] suggestion.

Sorry for the noise,
