You could also do this using just the __init_subclass__ method. Create some
class AddMixin, and use it like:
class _(AddMixin, using=mod.Cls):
...
The AddMixin class is something like:
class AddMixin:
def __init_subclass_(cls, *, using, **kwargs):
super().__init_subclass__(**kwargs)
using.__dict__.update(cls.__dict__)
return None
This is probably buggy, but that's the general idea.
Not sure how people would feel about how this reads, but I think it's not
too bad.
