Let's translate that to non-decorator Python:

@not_here.setter exists because not_here.setter exists. not_here exists
since we set it (when the getter/property was set).

PS: are you sure the lambda self: self.__foo() trick works, with
subclasses or otherwise? I haven't tested it, and I'm not saying it
doesn't, but I have a feeling double-underscore name mangling might be a
problem somewhere down the line?
