What are the compatibility implications of this change? I couldn't find any
documentation for the "-classic" option.

Could you help me understand what's going on here and why it's correct? I've
read the documentation of object.__getattr__ and object.__getattribute__¹ but I
don't follow how the fact that the class into which this code is included
became a new-style class (rather than a classic class) brought on the need to
migrate from __getattr__ to __getattribute__, nor why the order of precedence
of lookup (first __dict__, then object.__getattribute__, then _swig_getattr) is
correct.
I'm asking because I'm trying to review the branch (to +1 its merge) and this
is one of the open questions I have.
