Slots intelligently support inheritance, too. I always kind of
wondered why annotations didn't support inheritance--if D is a
subclass of C, why doesn't D.__annotations__ contain all C's
annotations too? But we're way past reconsidering that behavior now.
Anyway, `__slots__` doesn't behave that way -- seems it behaves
similar to `__annotations__`.
__slots__ itself doesn't behave that way, but subclasses do inherit the
slots defined on their parent:
class C:
__slots__ = ['a']
class D(C):
__slots__ = ['b']
d = D()
d.a = 5
d.b = "foo"
print(f"{d.a=} {d.b=}")
prints
d.a=5 d.b='foo'
That's the inheritance behavior I was referring to.
