>>> blog = Blog.objects.get(pk=1)
>>> blog.viewcount.incr()
1

This is now implemented in my descriptor branch, but what about the cls/table - level fields? What would the usage of the api look like?

Should work pretty much the same, right? Except you'd access it via the class object rather than an instance.

If certain attributes only make sense to use at the class level, or vice versa, it's pretty easy to check for that in a descriptor (since get gets both instance and class args) and error out if it's being called the wrong way.
