It is not the case now. I think __init_subclass__ has almost the same
possibilities as a decorator, it just updates an already created class and
can add some methods to it.
This is a more subtle question, these two for example would be equivalent:
from dataclass import Data, Frozen
class Point(Frozen, Data):
x: int
y: int
and
from dataclass import dataclass
@dataclass(frozen=True)
class Point:
x: int
y: int
But the problem with inheritance based pattern is that it cannot support
automatic addition of __slots__.
Also I think a decorator will be easier to maintain.
But on the other hand I think inheritance based scheme is a bit more
readable.
