Ah, just a typo then. > Can something be deprecated if > it was never even finished?

We can at least start with the "obviously safe" cases, assuming we find any. A "__slots__" field would be a good indicator, for example. And when we get extension types to have a __dict__, that should fix a lot of the differences already. > What about subclasses that want to multiply-inherit? You can inherit from multiple extension types in a Python type, and classes with more than one parent aren't candidates anyway. So this doesn't restrict us. > It may still be > an option worth finishing up, making it easy to automatically take a > (slightly-incompatible) step towards static binding. Yes, the option could be extended to include classes at some point, before we go for more automatic default optimisations. That would keep the changes explicit at the beginning.
