It is also currently a feature of Python:
class SomeClass:
def __init__(self):
self.val = 2
anInstance = SomeClass()
print anInstance.val
> 2
print anInstance.__dict__
> {'val':2}
anInstance.__dict__["val"] = 3
print anInstance.val

Don't know python, but can't you do something like that in perl too?
Actually, I think it is the norm for perl objects.
But that probably dates from Perl 5, which would only
be, maybe, 10 years or less?
