At the PythonLabs meeting someone mentioned it would make Jim really
happy if one could delete the __dict__ attribute of an instance. I

- New-style objects now support deleting their __dict__. This is for
all intents and purposes equivalent to assigning a brand new empty
dictionary, but saves space if the object is not used further.
