That isn't really a practical thing to consider, so no. :) Instead I'm suggesting there isn't a lot of justification to change the behavior of callable. If we were to change anything I'd suggest disallowing AttributeError from a descriptor's getter during special method lookup. However, I'm not suggesting that either. We should simply leave callable alone (and consistent with the other helpers that inspect the "special" capability of objects).

I'm suggesting there isn't a lot of justification to change the
behavior of callable.  *If* we were to change anything I'd suggest
disallowing AttributeError from a descriptor's getter during special
method lookup.  However, I'm not suggesting that either.  We should
simply leave callable alone (and consistent with the other helpers
that inspect the "special" *capability* of objects).
