I'm having second thoughts on this (in other words I was wrong).  Even
though factory isn't specific to classes and isn't supposed to give class
behavior, we could come up with something generic for prototypes.

The default attrProxy_.call_() could just make a prototype extension object
and attrProxy_.str_() could just print <Prototype:9ac3e>.

I would place the factory keyword so it looks more like a decorator:

    object Proto:
            factory: pass

            def str_():
                return "foo"
