Oh, and if the Python subtype calls super().__del__() twice, then there is no longer a guarantee that the finalisers only get executed once, right? I think it's time for at least a very visible warning in the docs that the behaviour is only 'guaranteed' for types that cannot be subtyped from Python, and that Python subtypes are free to break up the call chain in whatever way they like.
