[Zope3-checkins] Re: [Checkins] SVN: zope.interface/trunk/src/zope/interface/interface.py using `__setattr__` instead of `property` speeds up zope start-up time again, since getting the value for `__bases__` through `__dict__` adds up with almost 200.000 calls; of course, there's some overhead, since `__setattr__` gets called for the other attributes as well, but overall start-up is still faster

It'd also be nice to have a test for the feature the Twisted folks rely 
on, so this doesn't happen again.
