Fix a bizarre typo in the helper class ComparableException: the
__getattr__() method, which clearly (like the other methods) was intended to pass the __getattr__() call on to the self.err object, mistakenly returned getattr(self, self.err) rather than getattr(self.err, attr). Since self.err is not a string, this always raises a TypeError. Apparently that doesn't bother for the one attribute for which __getattr__() is actually called ('__coerce__'), but it broke the rich comparisons stuff that I'm trying to get into shape, so I'm fixing this now. (I could also simply remove the __getattr__() method, but fixing it seems more in the spirit of what the ComparableException class is trying to do.)
