But that would all be done in getattr, so I don't think it affects
hasattr's implementation at all.  Since hasattr doesn't push anything
onto the stack, getattr doesn't have to care whether it was called
directly from Python or indirectly via getattr; either way the scope
it needs is just the top frame of the stack.

Could be a different matter in other implementations, though.
