+    like this
+
+                 proxyObj = Proxy(objA),

+    the request actually is equivalent to saying
+
+                 x = objA.var1
+
+    Inherit from this class to create a Proxy.
+
+    Note that, with new-style classes, this does *not* work transparently
+    for Proxy subclasses that use special .__*__() method names, because
+    those names are now bound to the class, not the individual instances.
+    You now need to know in advance which .__*__() method names you want
