If you pronounce it dead, I can make sure the discussion stops. :-)

There has been discussion of something like this:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2006-April/063706.html
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2006-April/336586.html
But I think the consensus was that there weren't a lot of good
use-cases and adding such support would just make the statement more
complex. However, if type objects started to support something like
this, I guess the make statement should reconsider it.
Could someone put out some use-cases where it would be really helpful
to be able to specify a different dict type for the class dict?
