1) o.f evaluates to a Reference whose base is the value of 0 and whose referenced name is "foo".  No lookup occurs at this point.
2) o.__defineSetter__  creates an accessor own property on o
3) a PutValue is done using the reference from step 1.  It does a property lookup  and finds/uses the setter defined in step 2
4) print("foo" ) happens
