Raymond Hettinger <rhettin...@users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

ISTM the space saving of value of __slots__ isn't typically needed in the 
context of variable length built-in types.

Guido has long regarded __slots__ as a confusing hack.  That should warn us 
away for extending its functionality.

Unless there are some compelling use cases, a simple and clean patch, and a 
clear one sentence explanation for users, I recommend this feature request be 
closed.

Michael, do you still want this?
