Direct access to attributes

[marblestation]

Protoc compiler does not generate a class but a metaclass, we cannot just inherit from it. If we want to have our own class, we need to use composition instead.

Direct access to attributes don't seem possible and initialization via kwargs is complex, because you can have an atribute that is a list of attributes that contain other types and lists. It might be doable but I'm not sure that the time investment is proportional to the benefits.
