It could just be that I didn’t realize ` __set__ ` and ` __delete__ ` weren’t required. Or maybe it didn’t work well with the ` __slots__ ` support. It’s been a while since I worked on that code, I don’t remember anymore.

If `functools` were to drop the lock, which I agree is a good idea, I would look at using it again.
