Description

There are certain pieces of code in some libraries, linters and static analyzers that check things like

if isinstance(attr, property):
    do_something()

This is especially important for use in metaclasses.

Obviously this fails with cached property; would it be possible to derive it from property so isinstance/issubclass checks work as expected?
