actually I think there's a misunderstanding here; the __get/setattr__
pair are not enforcing a readonly policy on anything other than the
geometry attributes. There's only a need for __getattr__ on geometry as
ordinary attributes once set are directly visible on the instance and
don't go through __getattr__.  The idea is to hook changes to geometry
and not other things. In fact the policy is not to make geometry
readonly, but rather 'controlled' :)
